Wageningen UR aims to further expand and strengthen its leading position on a regional and international level Regionalisation Wageningen UR believes it is important to be embedded in the region, particularly via its applied research institutes and the Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences. Extra attention will be paid to this issue in a selective and more effective way, with the emphasis on larger programmes. Programmes and initiatives we will focus on include: Food Valley (Gelderland) Food Valley is solidly embedded with an active centre around Wageningen and has established a national and international reputation. Wageningen UR will continue to provide considerable support for Food Valley’s further development in order to create opportunities for new joint projects with government and industry. Dairy Campus (Friesland) In accordance with an agreement with the province of Friesland and Leeuwarden council, applied research activities in the field of dairy farming will be concentrated and expanded at the Dairy Campus near Leeuwarden to create a national applied centre with an international appeal. The dairy research farm in Lelystad will be moved to that location.
