Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences Sample Clauses

Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Fryske Akademy is affiliated to the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and as such is part of the national system of academic and research institutions. The nature of the link between the Fryske Akademy and the KNAW is jointly determined by the institutions themselves. The aim is for the Fryske Akademy to be a robust, future-proof institution for which academic standards and quality are paramount, and which conducts applied research to the benefit of the Frisian language and culture. The independence of the Fryske Akademy as an entity is assured. The Fryske Akademy will retain its status as a non-profit foundation (stichting) and may avail itself of KNAW facilities. The KNAW and Fryske Akademy will change the nature of their affiliation in summer 2019, in agreement with the Minister of Education, Culture and Science and the province of Fryslân. The province will consider the outcomes of the gateway review in this process. Action: central government/province 3 Funding The financial resources that the Minister of Education, Culture and Science provides for the Fryske Akademy, including funding for its accommodation, were transferred to the KNAW in 1990 (as a result of the operation to devolve responsibility for research institutions directly managed by the Ministry to the universities) and 1994 (as a result of the reform of the system of accommodation) respectively. The central government funding transferred to the KNAW is earmarked for academic study by the Fryske Akademy on subjects that are relevant for the Frisian research area, and for the institution’s accommodation. The KNAW now assesses the quality of the academic work performed by the Fryske Akademy; this includes the efficiency of its programme, considering activities in this field of academic study elsewhere. Action: central government 4 Consultation If, on the basis of its assessment as referred to at 3, the KNAW is of the opinion that it needs to make substantial changes to the resources it provides for the Fryske Akademy, it must notify the Minister of Education, Culture and Science immediately of its opinion. Before taking a decision on the matter, the Minister of Education, Culture and Science and the Fryslân Provincial Executive will consult with each other on the scope for achieving the objectives in another manner. Action: central government/province
