This chapter explores the depth and range of undergraduate research (UR) in higher education in The Netherlands. It proceeds systematically by charting the range of higher education types and levels in the country, and then focuses in on the cultural and administrative context in which Dutch UR takes place. Thereafter, a survey is conducted into national best practices and UR outcomes. Here, the roots of Dutch UR come to the fore as they emerged in the south-western city of Middelburg under the leadership of Hans Adriaansens, the then Dean of the Roosevelt Academy (now University College Roosevelt), a liberal arts and sciences honours college of Utrecht University. In this chapter it is also explained how UR went on to be taken upacross the country, first through the liberal arts and sciences college network and shortly thereafter by the large research universities. This led to the national student research conference that is organized annually by the Hague-based Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU) in conjunction with a business partner, Science Works Ltd, also based in The Hague.
