The Executive Board has appointed Pieter Jellema, director of Finance, as interim director of Institutional Affairs and interim secretary of the Executive Board, with effect from 1 September 2025.
Bart van Leijen, current director of Institutional Affairs and Secretary to the Executive Board, has decided, to our great regret, to leave the university. To ensure the continuity of administrative processes, Pieter Jellema has been appointed interim Director of Institutional Affairs and interim Secretary to the Executive Board. He will serve in this role until 1 March 2026 at the latest.
With the appointment of Laura Verra, member of the management team, as acting Director of Finance, the processes of the financial division will remain in good hands.
The recruitment process for a new Director of Institutional Affairs and Secretary to the Executive Board has now started, with the support of an external agency.
