Een beperkte rondgang langs de universitaire instituten geeft een beeld van enkele innovaties die hier de nodige aandacht krijgen. Ten behoeve van deze presentatie worden slechts enkele aspecten belicht; in de gedrukte versie is een uitvoeriger beschouwing opgenomen. Ook op die plek wordt zowel de volledigheid als de werkelijkheid van de activiteiten van deze instituten geweld aangedaan.
Could someone kindly explain to me what is meant by "geweld aangedaan" here?
Thank you in advance for any help.
