Congratulations! The ceremony has some good talks and can be attended remotely with subtitles in English (!). Warmly recommended!
@idlestate @NGIZero Personally I still see it as a shortened version of the full name, but yeah I believe they do tend to brand it as a standalone meaning nowadays.
But I'm old fashioned, I still prefer calling the IT department the "ICA" rather than it's new "AIM" name 💁
@bart @NGIZero
ah, I see. It's like KFC, the letters are meant to stand on their own now rather than point to some other, former, descriptive meaning
"Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen"
