The Stichting Academisch Erfgoed (SAE), in English the Dutch Foundation for Academic Heritage, is a network of Dutch universities that supports these universities' heritage and cultural collections.
The SAE was founded in 1997, when Dutch State Secretary Aad Nuis reserved a subsidy of 12 million guilders via the Mondriaan Stichting.
At that point, a plan was developed for future maintenance and management of the universities' collections.
[1] The SAE has initiated various thematic projects, about botanical, medical and geological collections.
