Westa, Sina (author)

Even though, modernization is a necessity most universities are described as conservative institution that are reluctant for change (Ridder-Symoens, 2002). However, universities have to change in order to secure an adequate education of their students that makes them compatible on the job market and sustain high quality research and innovation.
