The details of the agreement are public. Tim van der Hagen, negotiator on behalf of the VSNU and rector/chair of the executive board of Delft University of Technology, said: “As laid down in the recently signed sector agreement on university education, the aim of these negotiations was for the details of the contract to be made public.
