This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Ede Christian University of Applied Sciences” as university in Ede, the Netherlands. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the history & society register because the source frames it as university in Ede, the Netherlands. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The record creator and administrative purpose are central evidence, because official documentation reflects both action and institutional priorities. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 7, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1890179. VIAF identifies the subject as 131164967. Authority coordinates are 52.020, 5.664. 3 of 4 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2011, 2015 and 2016.
Later summaries often reconcile disputed chronology or motive more neatly than the contemporary record permits. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
