Dutch universities score quite highly for teaching and research in a<br />
number of international rankings (see: www.vsnu.nl). Wageningen<br />
University (WUR), for example, is a global leader in green biotechnology,<br />
and Leiden University leads the way in the biomedical life sciences (see<br />
box). In addition, the Netherlands is also home to a significant number of<br />
renowned knowledge and research institutes such as ECN and TNO, which<br />
play an important role in the government-initiated public-private<br />
innovation programmes.<br />
