relations between logic, mathematics and philosophy has been influential

by three subsequent national review committees. In addition, he has played 
a leading role in the development of the bachelor's programme in 
artificial intelligence (Kunstmatige intelligentie). All in all he has 
contributed significantly to education and research within the Faculty of
