‘Leiden already has a professor of Greek language and literature, namely Ineke Sluiter’, says De Jonge. ‘Because she started combining this position with the presidency of KNAW, there was room to appoint another professor alongside her. I am happy that I get to do this job, also for the continuity of the study programme.’
