Rens Bod, UvA professor and driving force behind campaign group WOinActie, wrote the pamphlet ‘40 stellingen over de wetenschap’ (40 Propositions on Science) along with his colleagues Ingrid Robeyns (UU) and Remco Breuker (UL). It is a pamphlet with provocative statements about the systems of science and education currently in place, as well as about funding flows in higher education, academic workloads and the business of publication. According to the professors, the system needs to be overhauled. The pamphlet is for sale in bookshops (publisher Boom).
