1 The DRSTP in 2006 The Netherlands has a long tradition in theoretical physics which involves research performed at university institutes, industrial laboratories, and government institutions. The strength of this research area is, for a large part, based on the unity of methods employed in a wide range of applications. This reveals itself both in scientific research as well as in academic education. In order to structure and coordinate the graduate education in theoretical physics, the Dutch Research School of Theoretical Physics (DRSTP) was accredited in 1994 by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and reaccredited in 1999 and 2004. The school is, at this moment, a cooperation between the theoretical physics groups of six Dutch universities: Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA), Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA), University of Groningen (RUG), Leiden University (UL), Radboud University Nijmegen (RU) and Utrecht University (UU, commissioner). In addition, there are several associated groups and individual researchers. The main objectives of the Dutch Research School of Theoretical Physics are to implement a joint programme of graduate education in theoretical physics and to maintain and strengthen research in theoretical physics from a broad unifying perspective that exploits the interrelationships between different fields of theory. The DRSTP is based on the conviction that a joint venture of all the moderately sized local theory groups, each with its own profile, offers added value for the achievement of these objectives. The current version of the mission statement and a short description of the DRSTP organization can be found in appendix A. The DRSTP graduate programme in 2006 As part of the research training, under supervision of a member-scientist of a participating university, the Research School guarantees a wide range of educational opportunities for its PhD students. These consist of postgraduate schools, advanced courses, seminars and topical courses in the Netherlands, and international experience in the form of workshops, summer schools or extended research visits abroad. As in previous years the educational board published the educational guide with an overview of the regular advanced courses taught at the universities. In 2006 nineteen students obtained their PhD. The average time between the start of the research and the date of the PhD exam is 48,0 months. In reaction to comments in the reaccreditation report of the ECOS (KNAW) the rules for the admission of students to the DRSTP have become more strict. In this admission procedure, the so-called “agreement of education and guidance” (plan for training and supervision) plays a crucial role. The selection and admission procedure is described in appendix B.
