The Dutch and science, a paradox (high quality research, but a ‘moderate follower’ on innovation; Innovations Union

Scoreboard, EU).

Dutch students and STEM studies (low enrollments in international comparison; Education at a Glance, OECD).

Dutch education is 'high on lows, low on highs' (Dutch education is very good in educating the average student;

PISA, TIMSS).

Universities and research institutes play a central role in RRI, how can they adopt and sustain:

• Engagement: choose together• Gender equality: unlock the full potential – gender

and inclusion• Science education: creative learning – fresh ideas• Ethics: do the right think• Open access: share results to advance• Governance: design science for and with society

BetaMentality:

Its dimensions can be regarded as characteristics we all possess to a varying degree, from ‘negative attitude and future outlook’, ‘focus on people and society’, ‘practical mindset’, ‘interest in technology’ up to ‘focus on status’.

Within these five dimensions, young people are subdivided into four groups; High Techs (31%), Career Techs (28%), Socially-Minded Generalists (28%) and Non Techs (13%).
