ISS in a nutshell

Finance & Human Resources The International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague is part of Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR).

It is a graduate institute of policy-oriented critical social science, founded in 1952 and able to draw on sixty years of experience.

ISS is a highly diverse international community of scholars and students from the Global South and North, which brings together people, ideas and insights in a multi-disciplinary setting which nurtures, fosters and promotes critical thinking and conducts innovative research into fundamental social problems.

Key to the ISS philosophy and practice is the wish to make a contribution to achieving social justice and equity on a global level. The strong partnerships with organizations and individuals in developing countries make up a network in which the co-creation of knowledge and an integrated approach to research and teaching can flourish and remain societally relevant.

ISS shares expertise with a wider public by providing high-level policy advice, serving as a platform for debate and the exchange of ideas and engaging in consultancy.

Interview with Professor Leo de Haan, ISS Rector

2013 Lots of positive change new Majors & new Research programmes

Research Teaching Finance & Human Resources

In many ways 2013 can be considered a year of repositioning for ISS. We ran the new Majors in our MA programme for the first time, and the first responses from students are very positive. The new Majors still give students the opportunity to specialize if they wish but are also an attractive proposition for those who want a broader study programme.

2013 was also the first full year in which the four new Research programmes were operational.

These programmes were designed to create more focus and cohesion so as to better position our research activities and increase our success rate in gaining much-needed external funding.

Restructuring support staff ISS is facing financial challenges, as further cuts have been announced by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 2013 we completed an internal reorganization of our support services in order to increase efficiency and reduce costs. I am very happy that we were able to avoid compulsory redundancies.

I feel confident that the new structure will give us the basis we need for the challenges ahead.

Our support services have now been integrated into the broader university organization.

MA and PhD programmes As a result of steps taken several years ago, the number of PhD researchers increased considerably in 2013. Our next step will be to expand supervisory

capacity to make sure that quality supervision is available to all of those who have joined us to complete a PhD programme.

A number of new professors and associate professors will be appointed to meet this need. We are also working to build strong networks with others outside the institute. The establishment of double degree programmes at both PhD and MA level is a good example of that.

We have made sure that all PhD candidates are embedded in a Research programme to ensure that they will have an intellectual home for the duration of their stay at ISS. The MA programme in Development Studies remains an important part of what we do.

We have started to diversify this part of our teaching programme by creating different pathways for students. The Repoa model is a good example: students from Tanzania do part of their training in Tanzania so that their period of residence in The Hague can be reduced from 15.5 months to one year. Another example of this flexible approach is the 2-year Atlantis Transatlantic Master Programme in International

5

Security and Development Policy, which is jointly offered by ISS, the Maxwell School of Syracuse University in the US and the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, Germany. I foresee the development of more such flexible pathways in the near future.

Agenda for development cooperation We have a strong relationship with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in particular with the Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation. After a round of breakfast meetings on the future of development cooperation, an important conference on the future of international cooperation was held at ISS in early 2013. The participants came from a wide range of organizations: from the WTO and the African Development Bank to universities and ministries, NGOs and the private sector. Minister Lilianne Ploumen attended the conference and was most appreciative of the ‘building blocks’ we offered to provide input for her new policy.

In my view, ISS has had a clear influence on this policy, especially when it comes to the importance of inclusive development (such as

access to health, to education, to the labour market) – development for many. This is progress indeed.

We are working hard to increase our impact on the role of the private sector in development.

Our aim is to push private sector initiatives in the direction of inclusive growth, for example through social responsibility.

We are proud that a number of ISS staff members are involved in committees and advisory bodies for foreign policy and development cooperation, in areas such as sexual rights and the rule of law.

Cooperation with others ISS believes in the strength of networks and in sharing knowledge and insights. We work with universities and research institutes in other parts of the world, concentrating on the development of collaborative teaching programmes and providing access to PhD level education for partner institutes wishing to offer advanced development opportunities to their staff and students.

A wonderful example of research cooperation was the joint ISS/CDS (Centre for Development Studies) conference held in Trivandrum (India) early 2013, as the final

activity of an international research project on gender and migration. Within our own Erasmus University Rotterdam, we participate in the Global Health Initiative and the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities. ISS is also involved in the LDE alliance between Leiden University, Delft University and Erasmus University.

Within LDE, ISS has taken a leading role in a new research centre on ‘Frugal Innovation and Technology Networks with Africa’.

Some 2013 highlights In November 2013, Erasmus University hosted the official celebration of its 100th anniversary. We are proud that development expert Robert Chambers was awarded an Honorary Doctorate on behalf of ISS as part of these celebrations.

In 2013, ISS also launched the KidsRights Index and ISS students participated in a major conference in The Hague on ‘The Future of Peace and Justice’.

And there is much more. This Annual Report offers you an overview of our major activities and achievements in 2013.

As always, I considered the opening of the MA programme in September and the MA graduation in December to be real highlights. So many people, so many expectations, so many nationalities. It is a huge privilege to be the Rector of ISS. Not many of my colleagues in the world have the honour of leading a community made up of staff and students from more than 50 countries!

Conference on the Future of International Cooperation In March 2013 a conference on the Future of International Cooperation was held, in close cooperation with SID (Society for International Development), FMO (Netherlands Development Finance Company) and NCDO, the Dutch expertise and advisory centre for citizenship and international cooperation. Key speakers included Lilianne Ploumen (Dutch Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation), Pascal Lamy (World Trade Organization), Donald Kaberuka (African Development Bank), Bert Koenders (United Nations Operation in Côte d’Ivoire) and Joris Voorhoeve (The Hague University of Applied Sciences).

This conference was the closing event of a stakeholder consultation process designed to bring together ideas for a new agenda on international cooperation – Beyond ODA: towards a new perspective on international cooperation for development: new actors, new instruments.

In autumn 2012 three sessions were held, with representatives from government, civil society, and

7

the academic and business communities in the Netherlands. The final session of the conference was devoted to discussing building blocks for a new form of international cooperation beyond ODA, based on inclusive and sustainable economic growth, social development and the urgency of people in civil society.

Dies Natalis ISS On the occasion of the 61st birthday of ISS, celebrated on 8 October 2013, Alan F. Fowler, Professor of Civil Society and International Development, delivered his valedictory lecture entitled Civic Driven Change: Where From, Where Now, Where Next? The lecture described the results of six years of effort to design a set of spectacles to better look for answers to the why, when, where and how of people taking and resisting initiatives to change the society they live in, for good or ill.

Looking ahead, Professor Fowler explained the next steps within the Civic Innovation Research Initiative (CIRI) as a new multi-disciplinary programme at ISS, initially involving strands of politics, markets and sexuality.

Honorary Doctorate for Professor Robert Chambers On the 100th anniversary of Erasmus University Rotterdam, Professor Robert Chambers was awarded an Honorary Doctorate during the centennial’s official celebration at the Dies Natalis in November 2013. This memorable event was attended by HRH Princess Beatrix.

Robert Chambers is one of the most influential international development studies scholars and writers of the past generation. For the last 40 years he has been a researcher at the Institute of Development Studies at the University of Sussex in England. He became a leading figure in the field of development management in the 1970s, publishing several books on the management of land settlement schemes and much work on rural development management in general. These works drew on ten to twelve years of experience as an administrator, lecturer and researcher in Africa, to which he later added five or six years of research in India.

8

Professor Chambers has a special talent for expressing insights in simple terms that are able to reach wide audiences – for example in reminders about the great relevance of seasonality (wet, dry, cold and hot seasons) to all aspects of rural living and rural research, and in warnings about the low relevance of super-sophisticated methods of planning and assessment, which are used after the real political decisions about proposed investments have been made. He has suggested that, in many cases, simple is optimal.

Seminar on the Challenges and Potentials of African Economic Transformation: Can Economic Transformation be Inclusive?

On 13 June, in collaboration with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ISS, the African Center for Economic Transformation (ACET) organized a

seminar to mark the launch of its flagship publication, the African Transformation Report.

At the seminar, ACET presented a preview of the report and the participants discussed how inclusive growth relates to transformation.

International Conference on Indonesia Development The International Conference on Indonesia Development 2013 was organized by Indonesian students at ISS. The conference, held in September, was designed as a hub for Indonesian scholars, policy-makers (executive and legislative), professionals and the public. It was an exciting opportunity for Indonesian scholars to exchange ideas through interactive and comprehensive discussions. The conference aimed to create a blueprint for ideal Indonesian development.

One on the keynote speakers was Lilianne Ploumen, Dutch Minister for Development and International Cooperation.

Dick de Zeeuw lecture: Food is a Serious Issue On 5 September 2013 Professor Louise O. Fresco gave the annual Dick de Zeeuw lecture, entitled Food is a Serious Issue. She spoke about how consumers are becoming increasingly worried about food safety and large-scale industrial production.

Feeding 9 billion inhabitants of the earth is possible if we apply our best scientific knowledge and the best socioeconomic practices. Yet the support for evidence-based solutions is eroding, so far mostly in the rich countries, leading to inconsistent fragmented policies and confusion.

The Dick de Zeeuw Foundation was founded in memory of Dick de Zeeuw, a former Dutch politician. The Foundation aims to stimulate ideas concerning the importance of agriculture for a sustainable society, and to promote attention to issues concerning development and environment.

ISS and Nuffic celebrate 60 years of cooperation In 2013 ISS and Nuffic celebrated 60 years of cooperation. In 1952 Nuffic established ISS in the Noordeinde Palace, which then housed both organizations.

After 25 years in the palace both Nuffic and ISS moved to Hotel De Wittebrug in The Hague, and in 1993 they moved to two adjacent buildings on the Kortenaerkade. Although there is no formal organizational link between the organizations, they co-operate closely on the Niche, NFP and other programmes.

To mark 60 years of common history and cooperation, ISS presented Nuffic with a work by the Flemish artist Jan Verschueren. ISS received a watercolour of Noordeinde Palace, painted by Leo Wisselink.

Nationalization of natural resources, cooperation and conflict in Latin America Following a successful mid-term review, in 2013 Dr Murat Arsel and Dr Lorenzo Pellegrini submitted a successful project proposal to NWO (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research) to upscale the ‘Nationalization of natural resources, cooperation and conflict in Latin America’ project. The new grant brings the total value of the project to €1,300,000.

Partners in the project are Hivos (the Netherlands and Bolivia), Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador) and LIDEMA (Bolivia). In addition, Murat Arsel and Lorenzo Pellegrini were awarded a grant by the Rockefeller Foundation to host a workshop at the Bellagio Center, for academics and representatives of civil society working on extractive industries in Latin America.

The workshop (early 2014) aims to bring together the CoCooN project team, activists from Latin America and NGO representatives from Europe to discuss and share their progress and the challenges they encounter, with a view to maximizing the impact of findings and the sustainability of our activities. They will also explore potential new partnerships and possibilities for expanding the project beyond 2016.

New research centre on ‘Frugal Innovation in Africa’ ISS is taking a leading role in a new research centre on Frugal Innovation in Africa. The main question for this new research centre (a joint venture between the Universities of Leiden and Delft and Erasmus, LDE), is to address the conditions under which frugal innovations are more likely to offer development opportunities for producers and consumers in Africa.

Through re-engineering, re-inventing or stripping down high-value consumer products and dramatically lowering their unit consumer price, a significantly extended range of products is made affordable for the roughly four billion consumers at the Bottom of the Pyramid, of whom about 500 million live in Africa. Examples include: • Tata’s simplified water purifier that provides poor people with safe drinking water; • Unilever’s OMO sachets that contain small amounts of detergent specifically for hand washing in cold water; • Low-cost solar lighting (Philips) that can be used in places with no electricity.

While these examples show developmental potential, such frugal innovations can also lead to increased environmental damage and more exploitative labour conditions if the ‘stripping down’ means undercutting existing environmental and labour standards.

Health Insurance and Access to Health A symposium on Health Insurance and Access to Health was jointly organized by Partos (umbrella organization for international cooperation) and the Netherlands Health Insurance Platform for the Poor (HIP) in July 2013, supported by the Prince Claus Chair in Development and Equity and ISS. The purpose of the symposium was to exchange knowledge on new developments in health financing and access to health care in developing countries.

Professor Stella Quimbo (Prince Claus Chairholder 2011-2013) and Professor Michael Grimm (Development Economics, University of Passau) contributed new academic insights to the symposium.

The Economics of Development and Emerging Markets research programme consists of 10 economists and 20 to 25 PhD researchers.

The point of departure is the observation that three-quarters of the global poor are not in developing countries but in emerging markets.

This challenges the traditional concepts of development, including poverty reduction targets and other Millennium Development Goals. Open to other disciplines and embedded in a leading European development studies institute, the research programme provides an economic perspective on development processes and structural change all around the globe.

The main achievements in 2013 include 3 major grants, 7 A-journal articles, increased supervision of an additional 11 PhD students, integration of PhDs into the research programme, significant success in publications during the PhD trajectory, and concrete valorization including testimonies in Dutch Parliament and appearances on Dutch television.

2013 IIPPE Fourth Annual Conference ’Political Economy, Activism and Alternative Economic Strategies’ In July 2013 the IIPPE (International Initiative for Promoting Political Economy) Fourth Annual Conference in Political Economy took place at ISS. The conference, coordinated by Dr Susan Newman, brought together scholars from all strands of political economy. These scholars sought to engage in debate with political parties and progressive organizations in order to explain the incidence of struggles, and how they might best be supported in bringing about broader, deeper and more unified responses to the economic crisis. 300 people from more than 30 countries across 6 continents participated in 70 parallel sessions. There was also a side event, a one-day workshop on Marxist Political Economy involving ISS students.

In 2013, the programme started research activities in three main areas: 1 Climate change governance In 2013 the first steps were taken towards developing a research project on climate change governance. Various researchers participated in a two-day workshop with Professor Asunción Lera St. Clair, Research Director at the Center for International Climate and Environmental Research (CICERO) in Oslo. The objective of the research project is to undertake joint initiatives with CICERO on the governance of climate change.

2 The political economy of crises: continuity and change In 2013 a working group prepared ideas for a research project on the political economy of crises.

The first concrete initiative, led by Dr Karim Knio and Dr Jeff Handmaker with Anna Jüngen, was to organize a series of seminars entitled Don’t waste a good crisis, as part of the ISS Development Research Seminar series. The seminar series will run from January until June 2014 and will feature many prominent speakers.

3 Migration and social justice Research on migration in 2013 included a variety of initiatives. The Migration, Gender and Social Justice programme, led by Dr Thanh-Dam Truong and funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), was concluded. It resulted in the publication of the book Migration, Gender and Social Justice: Perspectives on Human Insecurity. Furthermore, Dr Helen Hintjens and Dr Karin Astrid Siegmann obtained a grant from the Rotterdam Global Health Initiative for a pilot study on the health situation of undocumented migrants in Rotterdam and The Hague.

KidsRights Index In November 2013 ISS presented the first KidsRights Index. This index is the first to provide an insight into how countries all over the world score in the field of implementing children’s rights in five different domains: the right to life, health, education, protection and child rights environment. The initiators of this index are Erasmus School of Economics, KidsRights and ISS. The aim of the index is to bring children’s rights to the attention of a wide public and support their further implementation.

There are still many places in the world that do not comply properly with the rights as set out in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. The KidsRights Index therefore provides an insight into the status of each country and forms the basis for making concrete recommendations.

ISS PhD programme

The Political Economy of Resources, Environment and Population research programme investigates the ways in which resource scarcities are created and contested, particularly in contexts of unequal access, poverty and social exclusion.

• Changing forms of poverty, vulnerability and exclusion (amongst others from a gender perspective) in the context of population transitions such as migration and urbanization.

• Recent initiatives around popular alternatives such as food sovereignty and agro-ecology.

Within the framework of climate change and environmental, food and energy crises, the emergence of new hubs of global capital, and demographic transitions, the programme pays particular attention to how agrarian, food and environmental policies shape the political economy of rural areas and their social policies, population and gender dynamics.

The research programme encompasses two inter-linked fields (or centres of gravity) relating to sustainability and human development: • Agrarian, Food and Environmental Studies, concerned with agrarian change, food and energy crises, resource conflicts, conservation and natural resources, and environmental degradation and climate change, as well as emerging popular alternatives such as food sovereignty and the national and transnational social movements that spearhead these.

This translates to the interrelated concerns of the 14 staff members and 24 PhD researchers in the areas of: • Land, water, food, energy, biodiversity and extractive industries; processes of generational transition, in relation to children and youth.

• Critical Research in Social Policy, concerned with poverty, inequality and marginalization, gender power relations, children and youth, socioeconomic security, social provisioning, population dynamics, and social inclusion.

The Civic Innovation Research Initiative is a research programme exploring how organizations and individuals mobilize to change their societies. It focuses on how they co-shape political, economic and cultural trends in pursuing the common interest whilst respecting differences.

The 17 staff members and 19 PhD researchers look beyond development theories and policy frameworks which tend to emphasize structure, or actors themselves that overly stress the key role of charismatic change agents. The programme aims to build up a vibrant intellectual home that can take on board both academic and activist concerns relating to citizenship struggles and identities. This approach relates to civil action for generational and gender equality, for democratic rights, and for economic justice in development.

CIRI’s analysis of and support for civic innovation recognizes the importance of knowledge production led by researchers and activists working to change the development arena. Based at ISS, with its history of original research and public engagement, this programme has three core strands which focus specifically on civil engagement in: 1 market 2 politics 3 sexuality

ISS has had a Phd programme for more than 30 years. It has awarded over 125 PhDs to students from all over the world, and their research has contributed to the capacity building of universities, research institutions and government policy bodies in developing countries.

By 31 December 2013 there were 97 PhD researchers enrolled in the PhD programme, 32 (33%) of whom had ISS-MA pre-education.

The PhD programme is a 4-year programme which includes coursework and on average one year of fieldwork. The dissertation is written in English.

The PhD researchers are all integrated into one of the research programmes: • Economics of Development and Emerging Markets • Governance, Globalization and Social Justice • Political Economy of Resources, Environment and Population • Civic Innovation Research Initiative

This embedding provides an intellectual home as well as an organizational home for all PhD researchers. The four research programmes hold regular meetings with all researchers, organize their own seminar series, workshops and conferences, and write joint funding proposals. Some have their own working paper series, and they develop other research activities into which the PhD researchers are now fully integrated.

Another policy change closely related to the shift to four research programmes is that the admission process for PhD candidates has become more decentralized. Applicants need to indicate which research programme they would like to join.

After a check to ensure that they meet the general admission requirements, their proposals are assessed by the research programme concerned.

ISS PhD programme

Research seminars are held frequently at ISS. There are two kinds of seminars: Development Research Seminars (DRS) Presenting cutting-edge research on development studies by noted scholars from around the world.

Research Seminars Publications ISS Working papers 2013

Publications by ISS staff Journals

Teaching Finance & Human Resources

29

The seminars generally last for one and a half hours, allowing approximately 45 minutes for presentation, with the other half available to engage with the audience in discussion and debate.

In 2013 the DRS included the Spring-Summer Series ‘Why Sex Counts’ and the Autumn-Winter Series ‘Bodies in Resistance’, organized by the newlyformed Sexuality Research Initiative (SRI).

The series Why Sex Counts aimed to readdress what sexuality and sex mean, not just as a subtext to development but as an important entry point through which to understand development studies.

Under the title Bodies in Resistance the series continued the debate on why sexuality and gender are integral to development studies showing how the body, sexualized and desexualized, is embedded in development discourse.

Research in Progress Seminars (RIPS) RIPS provide an informal venue for presentations of ongoing research by ISS scholars and other scholars from the wider development studies community.

In 2013 ISS hosted around 40 RIPS on a wide range of development-related topics.

Indices of Social Development ISS is the host of Indices of Social Development (ISD).

This is a system that includes 200 indicators, synthesizing them into a usable set of measures to track how different societies perform along six dimensions of social development: • Civic Activism, measuring use of media and protest behaviour.

• Clubs and Associations, defined as membership in local voluntary associations.

• Intergroup Cohesion, which measures ethnic and sectarian tensions, and discrimination.

• Interpersonal Safety and Trust, focusing on perceptions and incidences of crime and personal transgressions.

• Gender Equality, reflecting gender discrimination in home, work and public life.

• Inclusion of Minorities, measures levels of discrimination against vulnerable groups such as indigenous peoples, migrants, refugees, or lower caste groups.

In 2013 ISD published the following Working Paper: Diversity, Inclusiveness and Social Cohesion, by Zahid Pervaiz, A.R. Chaudhary, Irene van Staveren

Development & Change ISS is the home of Development and Change, one of the best-known and most respected international journals in the field of development studies.

Development and Change was established by ISS in 1969 and is published by Wiley-Blackwell (Oxford) on behalf of ISS. Development and Change is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the critical analysis and discussion of current issues of development.

The journal receives articles from all the social sciences and intellectual persuasions concerned with development. Empirical, theoretical and historical articles are all welcome.

Editorial responsibility for Development and Change is in the hands of the Editorial Board based at ISS and supported by an international Advisory Board composed of scholars and researchers from around the world.

The Journal of Peasant Studies ISS is home to The Journal of Peasant Studies (JPS), one of the leading journals in the field of rural development. JPS provokes and promotes critical thinking about social structures, institutions, actors and processes of change in and in relation to the rural world. It encourages inquiry into how agrarian power relations between classes and other social groups are created, understood, contested and transformed.

The Journal of Peasant Studies is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2013 – 2014.

The Erasmus Mundus Master in Public Policy is among the first truly Joint Degrees accredited in the Netherlands.

The Joint Master is offered by a consortium consisting of the Central European University (CEU) in Budapest, Hungary (coordinator), the University of York in the United Kingdom, the Barcelona Institute for International Relations (IBEI) in Barcelona, Spain and ISS. The academic coordinator of the programme at ISS is Dr Karim Knio.

The programme started in 2007 as a Double Degree and became a Joint Master degree in September 2012. Mundus MAPP is a two-year programme with the first batch hoping to graduate at the end of 2014.

Students spend their first year at either ISS or CEU and their second year either at the University of York or IBEI. The various so-called mobility tracks in the joint degree each allow for a different focus – Political Economy and Development, Governance and Development, Global Public Policy and European

43

Public Policy – while maintaining a uniform core of policy studies subjects. Students are exposed to a variety of European academic traditions and policy contexts through study visits and internships.

The Mundus MAPP programme is funded by the European Commission. There are scholarships available for students in the MA programme and also stipends for visiting scholars.

The course on Policy-Making for Natural Resource Management in Vietnam had 32 participants and dealt with the challenges of managing water and land. The course was held at the Ho Chi Minh Academy of Politics and Public Administration in Hanoi (HCMA). The focus was on the Academy’s Centre of Leadership and Policy Studies, which was established in 2011 as the result of a 3-year capacity development project at HCMA, in which ISS and the Academy cooperated. The ISS staff involved were Professor Max Spoor and Dr Joop de Wit. The Future of Peace and Justice ISS students participated in the impressive TEDx conference The Future of Peace and Justice, held in September 2013. The Hague Academic Coalition (HAC), of which ISS is a member/partner, organized this event. At this TEDxHagueAcademy event, video and live speakers combined to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

Training Day on International Education In July 2013 Dr Abiodun Williams, President of the Hague Institute for Global Justice, gave the keynote speech at ISS on the topic of Promoting Peace and Justice through International Education.

Dr Williams reflected on the topic as both a beneficiary and proponent of international education, having himself attended the Lester B. Pearson College of the Pacific, one of 13 United World Colleges. In his remarks, Dr Williams argued that just as education could serve as an instrument for economic growth and democratic accountability within the state, so international education could reduce tensions between nations, forestalling conflict. More directly, higher education institutes have a valuable role to play in cultivating the knowledge necessary for successful conflict prevention strategies. ISS is one of the founding partners of The Hague Institute for Global Justice.

Career Planning Workshop ISS offers students a Career Planning Workshop.

The workshop consists of three sessions and focuses on a personal SWOT analysis, CV-writing, preparing for interviews and networking. The workshop is offered several times throughout the year and is offered free of charge to all ISS students.

Career Talks Career talks, in which ISS alumni and current students and staff share their experiences and progress in their careers, are offered on a regular basis.

For example, ISS alumnus Jerome Surur (Public Policy and Administration 1985/1986), now Deputy Governor in the Eastern Equatoria State of South Sudan, visited ISS in May 2013 and met with a group of current students. Before becoming Deputy Governor, Jerome Surur served as a minister of in several ministries in his state. Mr Surur met with the ISS Rector along with about 20 students from the MA programme, who were very interested to learn about the situation in (Southern) Sudan, the relations with other countries in Eastern Africa and opportunities for a career after ISS.

The ISS Deputy Rector for Educational Affairs Dr Jos Mooij passed away in February 2013.

She had been ill for some time.

Jos joined ISS in 1996 as a Lecturer in Rural Development. After a 4-year stay in Hyderabad (2000-2004) she rejoined ISS as Senior Lecturer in Public Policy and Development. She was promoted to Associate Professor in 2007. Since 2011 she has held the position of Deputy Rector for Educational Affairs.

Colourful, kind and competent, an expert in her field, Jos was a colleague who found joy in her work. She was a passionate educationalist with a great belief in the important role education can play in international development and was, above all, a warm and lovely person on whom you could rely.
