Sign the Petition to make it clear to the VU that Earth Sciences cannot be cut

As you may have heard, the VU has made the 'preliminary plan' to close the Earth Sciences department, as well as the BSc Earth Sciences. The Geology & Geochemistry cluster from the MSc Earth Sciences will also be closed. Some forty staff members will be dismissed, resulting in a loss of expertise, in the Netherlands that cannot simply be rebuilt. There is a lack of vision and substantiation, with a great deal of disbelief among students and staff of the department. This is still a preliminary plan, so we need to take action now!
