ThinkQuest

educational web contests

The foundation `Stichting ThinkQuest Nederland' has been set up to organize various ThinkQuest-style contests starting in 2000. Stichting NLnet, SURFnet, and the Dutch Ministry of Education each contributed € 226,890 towards the starting capital of ThinkQuest Nederland. It now derives its main income from subsidies from the Ministry of Education and some commercial sponsors.

Since July 2002, the ThinkQuest competition is organized by Kennisnet , the Dutch educational network. The foundation Stichting Thinkquest is looking for new initiatives to innovate education in fields of technology and unusual internet utilization.
