>The INC originates from the �lectorate� of the department of Interactive
>Media at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. The media theorist Geert Lovink was
>appointed �lector� of this department in January 2004. The purpose of
>�lectorates� as these, in principle, four year term positions are called
>in Dutch, is to introduce research into the Dutch system of
>higher vocational education, and to enable the development of so-called
>�centres of excellence�. Within the department of interactive media at
>HvA (http://www.interactievemedia.hva.nl/), the responsibilities of the
>lectorate include the provision of traineeships, lectures and the theory
>programme. The INC is also involved in the Media Lab (initiated by the
>Hogeschool and the University of Amsterdam) which started with a BA
>pilot for 18 students in October 2004.
>
>The INC is also closely affiliated to the University of Amsterdam, where
>Geert Lovink is working as an associated professor at the department of
>Media & Culture. The University of Amsterdam and the Hogeschool, which
>have merged at a managerial level, are cooperating in many areas.
