  • Hoofdstuk 2 VOORGESCHIEDENIS
    Hoofdstuk 2 VOORGESCHIEDENIS Vanaf hoofdstuk drie komen vele aspecten van het leven in Geleen-Zuid aan bod. Dit hoofdstuk gaat over ”alles wat er al was”. We beginnen met een samenvatting over de zware industrie, die voor de ontwikkeling van heel Geleen van groot belang was en is. Dit stuk is geschreven door Herman de Rooij, voormalig medewerker van DSM-Research. Daarna volgen stukken over bewoning aan de zuidzijde van Geleen voorafgaande aan de realisatie van Plan-Zuid. Met heel lang geleden sporen van Bandkeramiek en van recenter datum o.a. de beschrijving van het oude gehucht Spaans Neerbeek. Dit hoofdstuk wordt afgesloten met een vogelvlucht over de Christus Koningparochie, de jongste parochie van Geleen voordat Geleen- Zuid ontwikkeld werd. VAN STAATSMIJN MAURITS TOT CHEMELOT Voorwoord In 1915 besloot de Nederlandse regering om in Geleen-Lutterade een nieuwe mijn aan te leggen, die de naam Maurits kreeg. Geleen telde toen 3700 inwoners. De voornaamste bron van inkomsten was de landbouw. Een aardig beeld van die tijd, aan de vooravond van de mijnbouw, geeft het boek en de latere TV-serie ”Uit het dagboek van een herdershond”. Honderd jaar later wonen er tien maal zoveel mensen en is Geleen opgegaan in de gemeente Sittard-Geleen. De staatsmijnen heten nu DSM, de mijnbouw is verleden tijd, de fabrieken voor bulkchemie zoals kunstmest (SBB), naftakrakers, polyetheen en de polypropeen-fabrieken zijn verkocht en er is overgebleven een modern inter- nationaal opererende chemische onderneming, die als werkgebieden heeft: hoog- waardige kunststoffen, voeding en farma. De geschiedenis van Geleen is onlosmakelijk verbonden met de komst en groei van de staatsmijnen in Limburg, de latere DSM.

  • DSM Invests in Knowledge and Innovation in the Netherlands
    Press Information DSM Engineering Plastics 2 Havelock Road, #04-01 059763 Singapore www.dsmep.com May 22, 2012 DSM invests in knowledge and innovation in the Netherlands Royal DSM, the global Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company, today announced that it is going to invest approximately €100 million in three new R&D facilities in Delft and Sittard-Geleen (both in the Netherlands) over the next two years. The investment confirms DSM’s commitment to the Netherlands, where the Life Sciences and Materials Sciences company was founded over 110 years ago. The investment in Delft concerns a new laboratory for biotechnological research as well as a DSM contribution to the recently formed consortium for the Bioprocess Pilot Facility (BPF) for bio-research. In Sittard-Geleen a new materials sciences research building will be realized on the Chemelot Campus. Since the new R&D units will closely collaborate with knowledge institutes, government bodies and other companies (including SMEs), the investments will have a major impact on the strengthening of the Dutch knowledge-based economy, precisely in the fields that the Dutch government has designated as key top sectors for the future. The laboratories in Delft and Sittard-Geleen are expected to open their doors in 2014. Some 700 researchers will be working there on innovative solutions to major global challenges in fields such as energy & climate and food & health. As such, the investments fit in with the Netherlands’ position as a front-runner in the field of sustainability. Feike Sijbesma, CEO and Chairman of the Managing Board of Royal DSM, says the investments demonstrate a clear commitment to DSM’s innovation efforts: “Innovation is one of the key growth drivers of the new DSM, and we are increasingly seeing the importance of open innovation involving cooperation with customers and various other parties.

  • SHARE Cross-Border Conference: Participation and Integration of Refugees
    SHARE Cross-Border Conference: Participation and Integration of Refugees Click to download the meeting agenda. On 28th September 2015, ICMC Europe and SHARE partners Stichting Vluchtelingen Werk (The Dutch Council for Refugees, Limburg), the city of Aachen, and the city of Sittard-Geleen, organised a one day meeting on participation and integration of refugees in the Meuse-Rhine Euregion. The conference was held in the city of Aachen, and attended by representatives of relevant actors from three neighbouring countries -- the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. Participants presented reception and integration programmes in their respective cities and regions. Background and purpose of the conference The unprecedented increase in refugee arrivals to Europe from Syria, Eritrea, Afghanistan, and Iraq, has left many towns and cities in Europe struggling to find ways to provide urgent protection and services for these new arrivals, especially given the lack of legal routes and resettlement opportunities for thousands of refugees. However, over the last three years, the Meuse-Rhine Euregion has received a significant number of refugees and in doing has shown a long standing commitment of civil society and local authorities to the welcome, reception and integration of new refugee arrivals. Across the region, there has been a burst of welcoming initiatives and citizen involvement in areas such as housing, education, employment and active participation in society, contributing to a positive environment for refugee protection and integration. In the current context of increasing refugee arrivals, now more than ever, there needs to be cross- border collaboration and exchange in the Meuse-Rhine Euregion with NGOS and city and civil society actors, to generate support for refugees and share experiences and practices as to what has worked well and where there are still challenges.

  • Masterplan Chemelot 2030 16 December 2019 - Finale Versie 5
    Masterplan Chemelot 2030 16 december 2019 - finale versie 5 Versie/ datum: 16-12-2019 1 Masterplan Chemelot 16/12/2019 Voorwoord Geachte lezer, Voor u ligt het Masterplan Chemelot 2030. Dit Masterplan is de uitwerking op het gebied van ruimte en logistiek van onze “Visie Chemelot 2025”. Centraal in die visie staat onze ambitie om als Chemelot uit te groeien tot de meest veilige, meest duurzame en meest competitieve chemie- en materialen site in Europa in 2025. We staan als maatschappij -en daarmee ook als site- voor grote uitdagingen om een duurzame toekomst voor onze en toekomstige generaties te bouwen. Centraal daarin staat de maatschappelijke ambitie om een circulaire en klimaat neutrale economie te realiseren. Onze doelen zijn helder, maar de weg erheen zullen we samen moeten vormgeven. Dit Masterplan is voor ons één van de belangrijke uitwerkingen voor die duurzame toekomst. Naast duurzaamheid staat ook veiligheid centraal in ons denken en doen. Chemelot heeft mede naar aanleiding van het rapport van de Onderzoeksraad voor Veiligheid en in samenspraak met de overheden ambitieuze veiligheidsdoelen gesteld. Veiligheid is voor ons een absolute prioriteit. Iedere dag weer zijn wij ons bewust van het belang van veiligheid, voor de medewerkers, de bezoekers, maar ook voor de omgeving. Iedereen is vanuit de eigen rol bezig om de veiligheidsprestaties nog verder te verbeteren om onze ambitie waar te maken. Deze veiligheidsambitie heeft een ruimtelijke impact die ook in dit Masterplan is verwerkt. We zijn ervan overtuigd dat de vooruitstrevende Chemelot ambitie en transitie kansen biedt. Deze kansen moeten echter ook financieel onderbouwd worden om de economische kracht van ons cluster én de groei van de werkgelegenheid op en om de site zeker te stellen.

WINDOW ON THE NETHERLANDS MEDIATING POLICY COMPETITION THROUGH CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT IN DUTCH LIMBURG HENK-JAN KOOIJ Department of Human Geography, Institute for Management Research, Radboud University, PO Box 9108, 6500 HK Nijmegen, the Netherlands. E-mail: [email protected] Received: June 2015; accepted November 2016 ABSTRACT Over the past decades, governments have switched from a managerial to an entrepreneurial style of governance in the strengthening of certain places at the expense of others. This coevolved with an increase in inter-urban and inter-regional competition for resources, also called ‘policy competition’. The issue for regional governments is how they balance their wish to strengthen their economic structure, without creating conflicts of unfair competition in the designation of ‘winners’ and ‘losers’. This paper addresses this balancing act in the Dutch Province of Limburg, where a multinational threatened to leave the region. The case is analysed with the help of actor-network-theory and follows the translations through which an innovative policy tool was constructed that allowed the Province to invest in real estate. Through the innovative ‘campus’ concept, the Province could comfort the vested interests of the multinational, while balancing out the interests of other economic cores in the region. Key words: policy competition, campus development, innovation campus, Dutch Limburg, regional economic policy, actor-network-theory INTRODUCTION prosperity within their region, but face chal- lenges to satisfy both the needs of local busi- How can regional governments strengthen nesses and of the EU rules on competition.

  • The Aftermath of the Closure of the Dutch Coal Mines in South Limburg: Regional Economic and Social Reconstruction
    THE AFTERMATH OF THE CLOSURE OF THE DUTCH COAL MINES IN SOUTH LIMBURG: REGIONAL ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RECONSTRUCTION Hans Kasper, Maastricht University and Etil BV This case study focuses on 35 years of economic redevelopment, reconversion or restructuring after the closure of the Dutch coal mines in the South Limburg mining district. It explicates what strategic decisions and measures were taken to solve the economic and social problems that occurred in this Dutch area after the closure of the coal mines, a process that was announced on December 17, 1965, by the Dutch government. Based on real-life experiences, this case study discusses the role and relevance of strategic planning, project management, human resource management, labor market policy, social policy, public policy and regional policy in restructuring the economic structure of an area in which a dominant player ended its activities in a rather short period. The case tackles not only the economic impact but also the social impact of the coal mine closures. The case is intended to be used as the basis for class discussion rather than to illustrate either effective or ineffective handling of a management situation.
