There will be no LIRa session on this day. Instead, we support the call for protest by WOinActie.
On November 14, a broad coalition of students, employees, and labour unions will hold a protest march against the drastic austerity measures proposed by the current government, headed by Schoof. The march will take place in Utrecht, from 13:00 to 15:00. We will gather at Moreelsepark and march from there to Domplein.
These cuts are equivalent to closing a large university, two smaller ones, or all Humanities faculties. The scale of the damage to Dutch science and higher education is becoming increasingly clear, and it will be unprecedented. The impact will be greatest on students and early-career researchers, with consequences that will ripple through society as a whole.
Raise your voice against these plans — join us on November 14 and bring your colleagues!
