Professor A. (Tom) Veldkamp will remain rector magnificus of the University of Twente for the next four years. The Supervisory Board has decided on his reappointment, which takes effect on 1 October 2024. Veldkamp has been part of the UT's Executive Board since 2020, which further consists of Vinod Subramaniam (chair) and Machteld Roos (vice chair).
The University of Twente is developing a plan together with institutions in scientific and vocational education in the Groningen, Delft, Eindhoven and Twente regions to educate more technical talent. This is needed to strengthen and preserve the Netherlands' chip sector. The cabinet presented plans to this end last week. The so-called 'Beethoven' project includes a substantial investment in engineering education.
The University of Twente and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) have set out their joint ambitions in a collaboration agreement. The agreement was signed earlier this week. In the coming period, they intend to cooperate more frequently on various initiatives in the field of scientific research and education, within the domains in which the ministry operates. UT and the ministry endorse the importance of multidisciplinary cooperation and broad knowledge orientation to tackle complex societal issues.
