About this site - Hoofdinhoud
This site aims to inform you about the Montesquieu Institute and its activities. Furthermore, it will serve as an interactive knowledge database on various topics within our scope of research.
-
-stimulating researchers to carry out in-depth and comparative research into the different parliamentary systems in Europe, the actors in these systems and the way these actors implement European decision-making in their own national systems
-
-hosting a chair of national (i.e., Dutch) and comparative parliamentary history, with the task of throwing light not only on Dutch parliamentary history but also on the development of European structures and the penetration of the latter into the national legal systems;
-
-provision of lifelong learning facilities for politicians, journalists, political assistants and students, allowing them to bring their knowledge up to date and keep it permanently up to date by short refresher courses, attractive events and electronic newsletters;
-
-supporting research and teaching with the aid of an electronic knowledge exchange network that will make basic information, best practices, research formats, research data and research results permanently available and will provide tailor-made solutions for informing users of new developments; part of this information will also have to be made available in suitable formats adapted to use by other target groups such as administrators, the media, political assistants and the man in the street.
