• Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VU): Minor in Moroccan Studies. This includes a lecture series ( tutorials) "Orientation on Morocco," postcolonial literature focusing on Morocco, and a course in Moroccan Arabic A and B. Morocco is also frequently discussed in "Livelihood, Alliances and Governance" for social and cultural anthropology students.
• Zuyd University of Applied Sciences, Oriental Languages and Cultures program: No, Morocco used to be a specialization, but now the focus is on Egypt.
• Tilburg University (UvT): Previously for intercultural communication students: knowledge of the Arab world, sociolinguistics of Arabic and Berber, a course in Moroccan Arabic, and an introduction to Berber language and culture. Now, attention is paid to (aspects of) Morocco in the new program of General Cultural Sciences at the Faculty of Communication and Culture. A key pillar in this (and the research) is multiculturalism, in which the position of language, culture, and religion (Islam) of ethnic groups living in the Netherlands is carefully outlined. Various courses are devoted to it, such as "Cultural Studies in the Netherlands" and "Media and the Multicultural Debate".
• University of Amsterdam (UvA): No, the emphasis of the Arabic Language and Culture programme is on Egypt. However, the minor in Migrant Languages does include Moroccan Arabic and Berber.
• Utrecht University (UU): Yes, in recent years, two courses on "Languages and Cultures of North Africa" have been offered each year, in which the Riffian language was taught and the history of Morocco was discussed. In 2006, a post-academic course was introduced (although also open to students) which included a new Riffian course.
• Fontys University of Applied Sciences: Yes, the teacher training programme includes a course on Morocco as a region of origin and a developing country. Attention is also paid to Morocco in the subjects of intercultural education and multicultural society. Furthermore, there is a 15-30 day field practicum for third-year geography teacher training students, and there are refresher courses including field practicums for secondary school and vocational education teachers. There will also be a minor in sustainable global development and interculturality, with ample attention to (the cultural aspects of) Morocco and a planned internship of approximately 2 months in Morocco. Furthermore, a cooperation agreement was signed with Al Akhawayn University in Ifran, Morocco, at the end of April of this year. Under the agreement, an IBMS student is currently there, and a Moroccan business student will be here.
• University of Groningen (RUG): Yes, lectures with case studies focused on Morocco, e.g., anthropology of Muslim cultures.
• Leiden University: Yes, an annual lecture on Tashelhiyt Berber (Southern Morocco), 2 hours of seminar per week. Every other year, a lecture on Rif Berber (Northern Morocco), 2 hours of lecture per week. Every year an MA course: Current Research in Languages and Cultures of the Maghreb. On request: Moroccan Arabic.
• De Horst University of Applied Sciences: Once a year, as part of the Elective/Free Space programme, a study trip to Morocco is offered, including visits to practical institutions in the field of social work. The trip is prepared and supervised by two lecturers and a student of Moroccan descent (as a graduation project). Links to Morocco are also made in internships, volunteer work and other educational projects carried out by students in the Netherlands.
• Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU): Currently there are no educational activities specifically focused on Morocco, but the HKU actively reaches out to young people from immigrant backgrounds (and therefore also to young people from Morocco) with the aim of interesting them in culture/theatre in general and possibly. In due course, a course at the HKU.
• Rotterdam Conservatory & Rotterdam Dance Academy (Codarts): There are plans to develop a minor in Maghreb music, initially in collaboration with Barcelona.
• INHOLLAND: Our School of Economics has just started building a network of partnerships. Following a working visit to Morocco in June 2005, five institutes were selected with which we would like to collaborate. This involves student and lecturer exchange.
• Utrecht University of Applied Sciences: No, but Morocco will be included in the geography and history courses at the PABO (Primary Teacher Training College) and second-degree programmes.
• Christian University of Applied Sciences Netherlands (CHN): Yes, these activities are aimed at recruiting students from Morocco. There are no specific content components focused on Morocco.

• VU: The lecture series 'Orientation on Morocco' currently has approximately 25 participants. In 2003/4, around 75 students participated in 'Orientation on Morocco' and 28 students took Moroccan Arabic A.
• RU: Introduction to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Studies: between 40 and 50 students. Capita Selecta Ethnography of the Mediterranean: between 25 and 30 students. Master's course MES on the Mediterranean: last year 12 students. Arabic Department: 5 to 7 students annually for Moroccan 1 and 2.

• De Horst University of Applied Sciences: 4 ECTS.
• Codarts: Minor has a minimum size of 15 ECTS, can be extended if there is sufficient interest.
• CHN: Normal study load of a full-time bachelor's programme.

• VU: Yes, in 2016, an interfaculty excursion to Morocco took place to introduce students to both the country and its universities. This excursion included a preparatory seminar.
• Fontys University of Applied Sciences: Yes, for the field practicum and teacher training internships (see question 6). Four technology students here collaborate with business and technology students there (on the development of a solar-powered mobile phone charger). This contact is primarily by email.
• De Horst University of Applied Sciences: By telephone in advance and, if possible, with the institutions they will be visiting. The MWD and SPH training teams have made study trips to Morocco as part of their expertise development in the field of Multicultural Competence (co-financed by a fund from the European Platform and a Moroccan grant from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science). In the more recent past (until approximately 1992), there were contacts/staff exchanges with the Social Work program in Tangier. These were stopped after the termination of the STIR subsidy program and partly as a result of the curriculum revision (discontinuation of the Intercultural Learning Route).
• HES Amsterdam: In the past, there was contact with a Moroccan institution; this was discontinued due to insufficient quality.
• HKU: A group of students and lecturers from various teacher training programs in the arts (visual arts, music, theater, and arts management) traveled to Morocco in the summer of 2017. There are plans for a joint project (MEDA is being considered), but it is difficult to realize due to the educational structure in Morocco, which is so different from here and is required for EU projects. As a result of this, and the difficulties in finding a good partner, the plans are on hold for the time being.
• Codarts: Minor plan is still in the planning phase. Contacts were made during the Maghreb conference in Barcelona.
• INHOLLAND: The idea is to begin small-scale student and lecturer exchanges from January 2023.

• VU: The minor program changes annually. For example, in 2016/17 there will be no "Orientation on Morocco," but there will be a program on postcolonial literature and history of Morocco. Furthermore, no Moroccan Arabic will be taught, but there will be French language acquisition (according to plans from 2016). The field trip should also take place every other year. If students want to write papers as part of blocks, they are always welcome to do so. This also happens occasionally.
• Fontys University of Applied Sciences: Yes, the field practicum and accompanying lecture are mandatory for geography students and optional for others.
• RUG: Yes.
• Leiden University: Only Riffian Berber is offered biennially.
• RU Arabic Department: Moroccan Arabic 1 and 2: annually.
• UU: No, preferred but not (yet) possible.
• De Horst University of Applied Sciences: Yes, part of the Elective/Free Space program. The study trip will only take place if there are enough participants.
• Codarts: If a minor plan has been developed, yes.
• INHOLLAND: Not yet, but it would be ideal if there were both digital and physical mobility, so that contact with Morocco becomes an integral part of the curriculum.
• CHN: Yes, regarding student recruitment.

• VU: Internships and educational research projects occur occasionally, once or twice a year. Last year, two students conducted educational research projects in Morocco; one on Berber awareness and one on the possibilities of teaching Dutch in Northern Morocco.
• Fontys University of Applied Sciences: Yes, internships primarily focused on preparing, implementing, and evaluating development projects. The major internship as part of the minor is offered throughout Fontys.
• RUG: No, but with Moroccans in the Netherlands.
• Leiden University: Yes, fieldwork assignments.
• RU Arabic Department: Yes, students who spend their external minor in Morocco.
• UU: Not at the moment.
• De Horst University of Applied Sciences: In previous years, students occasionally completed internships in Morocco. In the last 10 years, not in Morocco itself. Always in the Netherlands, at institutions that serve a target group of Moroccan descent. Number: at the time: 1 to 2 per year in Morocco; internships with Moroccan dimensions in the Netherlands are not specifically registered. Explanation: Language issues with internships in Morocco for Dutch students and with internships in the Netherlands for Moroccan students; also with exchanges with Moroccan students and teachers. This makes reciprocity difficult to achieve. Subsidy options are also lacking. Content-related issue: Social work in Morocco is underdeveloped/under-professionalized according to Dutch standards. This makes it difficult to organize internships in Morocco that meet the criteria.
• Leiden University of Applied Sciences: Sporadic internships.
• Hanze University of Applied Sciences Groningen: No internships as far as we know.
• HES Amsterdam: Yes, very occasionally there are internships in Morocco.
• HKU University of the Arts Utrecht: Students are free to do an internship abroad in Morocco. Based on information available to the BIZ (Bureau Internationale Zaken), it occasionally happens that a student spends their internship period in Morocco.
• Codarts: If the minor plan is implemented, yes.
• INHOLLAND: Yes, we are currently in contact with five (Dutch) companies.
• Utrecht University of Applied Sciences: No, but there are plans in that direction. This assumes about five students from the teacher training college (PABO) are doing internships at schools around Al Hoceima.
• CHN: Very occasionally. There is currently a Tourism Management student in Casablanca.

• VU: In the 20013/14 academic year, three bachelor's theses and about ten papers were written in the Moroccan Studies minor. Students conducting research in Morocco also write their theses on that subject.
• Fontys University of Applied Sciences: Yes, internship reports and papers as a contribution to the Morocco field practicum.
• RUG: No, but there are papers with Moroccans in the Netherlands.
• CIDIN: Yes, there are students conducting research in Morocco.
• Leiden University: Yes.
• RU: There are definitely theses in Mediterranean Studies that deal with a topic in Morocco. Also in the Arabic department, in the field of linguistics or with a social science perspective (political science, economics, anthropology).
• UU: A student recently graduated in education at Islamic schools in the Netherlands, where Moroccans are often the teachers.

• VU: There is a need to intensify contacts, but because student interest varies considerably (sometimes limited), it's not possible to expand. A student exchange in collaboration with a university would be desirable (a kind of Socrates program focused on Morocco).
• Fontys University of Applied Sciences: Yes, jointly with Moroccan programs and Moroccan students, allowing our students to conduct learning activities in Morocco.
• RUG: Yes, more contact with colleagues in Morocco, and sometimes a need for support for students who would like to do an internship but find it too daunting to arrange everything themselves.
• CIDIN: Yes, there may be a need for support with administrative and communication problems during fieldwork and educational contacts.
• Leiden University: Yes, more contacts regarding Berber education.
• RU Arabic department: Educational facilities for students who wish to spend their BA2 year in Morocco as a minor abroad.
• De Horst University of Applied Sciences: Expansion of opportunities for students (study visits, exchange programmes, internships) and staff mobility in collaboration with a Moroccan partner institution and projects with the professional field in Morocco and the Netherlands. Linked to the expansion of subsidy options (e.g. NUFFIC, BuZa-MATRA).
• INHOLLAND: It would be good to know what kind of contacts are common between Moroccan and Dutch institutes, and furthermore what kind of grants are available to support the mobility of students and lecturers.
• HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht: Structural contacts are desirable with regard to internships, research, and the possibilities of setting up an exchange.
• CHN: Yes, with regard to student recruitment and obtaining educational partners for double degrees or 'articulation agreements' to promote the inflow from Morocco.

He conducted and continues research in Morocco, in the Middle Atlas, from 1990-1997 and again from 2001-2005. This research has been published in international journals. Future research in the Rif region may be possible.

Last year, he conducted research on abandoned women for the Advisory Committee on Immigration Affairs. He also conducted research (together with Martijn de Koning) on the choice of marriage partners among Moroccan migrants. She would like to continue both studies (including in Morocco) because much remains unanswered.

He conducted research on Berber and Moroccan Arabic in the areas of bilingualism, education, language shift, etc. in the Netherlands and Morocco.

He conducted research on Berber language acquisition in the Netherlands and Morocco. Note: The University of Twente has several agreements with Morocco, including with IRCAM (Institut Royal de la Culture Amazighe) in Rabat for collaboration in the field of Berber.

• A. Monitoring (since 1983) of a Moroccan family and its network in Sidi Slimane.
• B. Life story research of Moroccan migrant daughters (and sons from 2006).
