An important aspect of the Theo Overbeek Center is the support of teaching. Indeed, Prof Overbeek was one of the first to recognize the power of new multi media. In 1971 he started videotaping his course: a 55-lecture series about colloid and surface chemistry. There was already a publication in Chemical Engineering News in 1971 entitled ‘MIT videotape series can replace textbooks’ [1]. In a report in 1973 Overbeek himself refers to his videotaped lectures as made during his stay at MIT in the USA indicating that students so always would have access to his course. In the preface of his report of 1973 he writes:
