Education
Themes surrounding the NPUH are already integrated in the UU curriculum, including fieldwork and guest lectures. The Research & Education Hub Utrechtse Heuvelrug aims to coordinate and extend on these efforts in a more consistent way that improves the transdisciplinary education and research on the BSc and MSc level. By doing so, it will offer students case studies of real world issues right around the corner and provides transdisciplinary research topics in a multi-stakeholder environment. In return, these research projects can result in valuable data and insights for a sustainable management of the national park.
