The Netherlands Flanders Accreditation Organisation (NVAO) recently awarded Saxion with the first institutional accreditation for Dutch Universities of Applied Sciences. Saxion’s programmes are regularly audited by the NVAO, and this accreditation is big step forward.

Five international students from Saxion’s School of Environmental Planning and Building recently won the third price in an urban design and spatial implementation contest. The students received the price for their entry to a contest on ideas for a planned “fast bike lane” route between the cities of Arnhem and Nijmegen in the Eastern part of the Netherlands. The 16 kilometers long track should stimulate car drivers and passengers to use their bike more often.

In November and December, Saxion participates in training Indonesian professionals in Environmental & Risk Assessment. In this project, staff members of the UNPATTI university are trained by Saxion staff-members and partners from two Dutch consultancy firms.
