== Abstract ==

This report presents a study on offshore education conducted by a consortium of Dutch higher
education researchers and commissioned by the Dutch Digital University (DDU). The study explored the
extent to which Dutch higher education institutions are involved in offering their educational services
abroad (offshore education). After thoroughly embedding offshore education in the wider contexts of
internationalisation and ICT policies, the study particularly explores the practical experiences with a
number of real-life offshore activities of Dutch higher education. As a warm-up to this report, a few
interesting cases are briefly touched upon below.

The research team is grateful to the Dutch Digital University (DDU) who commissioned this project
and created a stimulating, supportive and reflective environment. Particularly the support and
feedback from Peter Fest is highly appreciated. We also owe many thanks to the review committee
for this project, consisting of Bas Cordewener from the Stichting SURF, Henk Frencken from ICLON
(Leiden University) and Soehirman Patmo from the NUFFIC. Finally we would like to give our
gratitude to all respondents for their willingness to contribute to this study through the web-based
questionnaire, telephone interviews and face-to-face interviews. We are convinced that all of this
resulted in a report in which many can find valuable information for their own purposes and we hope
you will read this with great interest and joy!
