Dijkhuizen: cut down on meetings
WUR chairman of the board Aalt Dijkhuizen warned in his new year’s speech to staff at head office that 2004 is likely to be a difficult year, especially for the research institutes.
Dijkhuizen hopes that the joining of forces within the Sciences Groups will attract big research contracts and therefore money, especially from the EU. The research institutes that are currently facing difficulties will have until 2006 to sort their financial problems out. | K.V.
