The project was born out of the need to address the degradation of more than half of Europe’s soils, which costs around €50 billion annually.

  • Utrecht University withdraws from the Times Higher Education (THE) rankings 2024

    Utrecht University (UU) has deliberately decided not to provide any data to the makers of the Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings which is why the university is not featured in the 2024 list.
    According to UU, the rankings put too much stress on scoring and competition, while they want to rather focus on partnership and open science.
