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!
