On Monday, Robbert Dijkgraaf made a working visit to Emmen and the Greenwise Campus that is being developed. The outgoing Minister of Education, Culture and Science wants more collaboration between the educational levels by working on continuous curricular strands. Emmen puts this into practice and is therefore a frontrunner; the Minister has also recognised this. During his working visit, Drenthe College, the municipality of Emmen and NHL Stenden provided the Minister with some insight into the developments.

Plastics zijn nuttige materialen, die ons helpen gezond, mobiel, veilig en warm te blijven. Ze zijn niet meer weg te denken uit het dagelijks leven. Plastics hebben ook een keerzijde. Ze breken vaak niet of zeer slecht af als ze in het milieu terecht komen en ze worden gemaakt uit eindige fossiele bronnen. Wij werken daarom hard aan circulaire plastics. Zo dragen we bij aan een duurzame toekomst.
