Dutch Modern Migration Policy Act and the he Highly Skilled Migrant Program (interview with Marcel Reurs)

Marcel Reurs, Attorney-at-law, Partner, Everaert Advocaten, one of the oldest and largest independent Dutch immigration law firm's, talks to Connect about the Modern Migration Policy Act & its implications for India expats and highlights the opportunities for Indian businesses in the Netherlands.

Q1. Has the modern migration policy been fully implemented & how will it impact the entry of skilled workers from India into the Netherlands?

The Modern Migration Policy Act has been implemented and will take effect in less than 3 months, on June 1, 2013. It will simplify the immigration procedures for skilled expats. On the other hand, it will place additional responsibilities on employers of highly skilled migrants, in their new capacity of “authorized sponsor”. Employers will need to become fully aware of these responsibilities and must ensure their global mobility policies are compliant. Should they neglect this, then as of June 1, they will be at risk of penalties and, ultimately, having their status as authorized sponsor being revoked, which means they are banned from the Highly Skilled Migrant Program (HSMP) for a period up to 5 years. This means, that they will be disqualified from sponsoring new workers under the HSMP and from continuing the sponsoring of their current HSMP population.

Traditional Dutch food: Boerenjongens (Brandied Sultanas)

Boerenjongens is a speciality from the Groningen province in the north of the Netherlands. It is made with sultanas (a type of raisin), brandy and spices. 

 It's traditionally served on special occasions, such as Christmas or country weddings. In fact, its popularity at old country weddings, where the bride would serve it to guests from a large silver, earthenware or glass vessel, earned it the name of bruidstranen ('bride's tears'). Boerenjongens are often enjoyed as a drink in a glass with a little fork or spoon to scoop out the brandy-soaked sultanas. Today, the sultanas are often scooped out and added to ice creams, desserts and cakes.
This recipe is more than just a Dutch version of rum raisins. In fact, the Dutch have been making and trading brandy for so long that the English word for brandy comes from the Dutch brandewijn ("burnt wine", which refers to the distillation process). The art of distillation can be traced back to the ancient civilizations, but by the Middle Ages the frugal Dutch used it as a means to preserve wine. The brandy itself was often used for fruit preservation.

Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Yield: A few small jars.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups brown sugar (250 g)
• 1 cup water (250 ml)
• 1 lemon, zest only
• 3 1/3 cups sultana raisins (500 g)
• 1 tsp honey
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 1 clove
• 4 1/4 cups (1 quart) brandy (1 liter)

Preparation:

Add the sugar and water to a saucepan and cook over a medium heat until the sugar has dissolved. With a sharp knife, pare off two very thin strips of lemon peel (try not to get too much of the pith, which will add a bitter taste). Add the lemon zest to the saucepan, along with the sultanas, honey, vanilla and spices. Cook on a low heat until the fruit has swelled and softened. Bring to the boil, and then using a slotted spoon immediately scoop the sultanas into a couple of sterilized jam jars (see Tips below).
Now reduce the remaining liquid until it thickens. Remove from the heat and allow to cool. Remove the lemon zest and spices. Pour the liquid over the sultanas. Add the brandy. Seal the jars tightly, shake and store in a cool, dark place for at least 6 weeks before consuming. They're even better after 3 months and will keep unopened for a year. Once opened, keep chilled.
Tips:
Sterilize jam jars and lids by washing them in warm, soapy water, rinsing thoroughly and then allowing them to dry in a warm oven (250 degrees F or 130 degrees C). I prefer using lots of small jars, instead of one large jar. This way, you can give away a jar or two as culinary gifts, or take advantage of both early and late 'vintages'.

Job description

Tumors often display altered metabolic characteristics that are exclusive to the cancer cells and thus, can be targeted for efficient treatment.
The zebrafish is emerging as a valid model to study processes underlying cancer and provides an ideal setting to conduct chemical genetic screens for synthetic lethal interactions in the intact organism.
The tumor suppressor LKB1 is mutated in a familial cancer-predisposition syndrome and in over 30% of lung adenocarcinomas, one of the most common human tumors with a very poor prognosis. LKB1 is a serine-threonine kinase that phosphorylates the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key energy checkpoint in the cell. AMPK activation leads to growth suppression through several pathways including inhibition of the mTOR pathway. Human tumors with LKB1 mutations exhibit fast metabolic rate, increased invasiveness and poor prognosis. We have recently shown that Lkb1 is critical to maintain energy homeostasis in zebrafish. lkb1 zebrafish mutants are embryonic-viable (in contrast to mice), exhibit deregulated metabolism and fast metabolic rate, a characteristic of tumors cells.
We will use our lkb1 zebrafish model as a discovery platform in chemical genetic synthetic-lethal screens and to resolve the LKB1 network in control of metabolism.

Requirements

You must be a motivated enthusiastic researcher with a degree (drs./MSc) in the domain of Biomedical Sciences and/or related subject and have a strong interest in the fields of Developmental biology, cancer biology, molecular genetics. You have demonstrated a strong interest in an academic career through your publication record and prior engagement in collaborative research and teaching. Furthermore you have excellent communication skills in English, both written and verbal and are expected to master the Dutch language sufficiently.

Conditions of employment

We offer a vibrant environment to develop on-the-job the skills and networks that a successful academic needs.
Appointment will be according to the terms of the Collective Labour Agreement of Dutch Universities (CAO Nederlandse Universiteiten), for a period of one year with an extension of three years after positive evaluation of capabilities and compatibility. Ultimately the appointment must lead to a completion of a PhD thesis. During your appointment you will be supervised by Dr. Anna-Pavlina Haramis as your co-promotor.
The gross monthly salary is set on € 2042,- in the first year up to € 2612,- in year four. An appointment with Leiden University includes a pension build-up and facilitates other benefits such as an annual holiday premium of 8% and an end-of-year premium of 8.3%.
All our PhD students are embedded in the Leiden University Graduate School of Science www.graduateschools.leidenuniv.nl and the Research School Functional Ecology. Our graduate school offers several PhD training courses at three levels: professional courses, skills training and personal effectiveness. In addition, advanced courses to deepen scientific knowledge are offered by the research school.

We are now looking for a researcher who will work together with these PhD students and two fellow experienced researchers.

Objectives: The objective of the position is to develop a web-based decision support tool for risk assessment of hydro-meteorological hazards (landslides, floods). This includes the following:
