Introduction
The Dutch Art Institute a.k.a. DAI Roaming Academy a.k.a. DAI Art Praxis offers an MA at the intersections of art (as a broad spectrum of practices) and theory, embedded in a critical research culture plus a wealth of curated public events and with study by means of performance, reading, writing, voicing, making, listening, curating, commoning & conviviality as our modus operandi.
Dutch Universities fall under the responsibility of the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. The Governement has delegated the governance of all degree programs to University boards. DAI is formally affiliated with the ArtEZ University of the Arts. The executive board of ArtEZ decides annually about the height of the institutional tuition fees across the University as well as the division of budgets among all entities.
The Dutch Ministry of Education is the main funder of public education in the Netherlands. Second stream of income are the tuition fees paid by the students. Other than those two sources of income, universities at large or specific programs can aim for Third Stream Funding to cover special projects, facilities or trajectories.
Universities are not created for making profit, eventual reserve assets need to be invested in better (conditions for) education. At the ArtEZ University of the Arts, control is exercised by the Supervisory Board as well as the Participation Council. Annual reports are made available to the public.
How is the DAI funded?
70 - 75% Seed Funding from the Ministry of Education
20 - 25% Tuition Fees
approx 5% Other Income / Third Stream = DAI's Project Fund
___________________________+
100% annual budget
Please note that around 26% of the total sum of the annual Seed Funding + Tuition Fees is structurally used by ArtEZ to cover costs for what has been coined as "services" - all organised and steered by the University at large. The remainder of the sum of Seed Funding + Tuition Fees is available for the DAI's annual budget by means which the program is sustained. "Other Income / Third Stream" is exempted from this obligatory contribution to ArtEZ and ads in its full capacity to the spendable budget of the DAI.
