Recognition and Rewards
We stimulate good leadership
Academics have a broad and varied set of duties. Besides wanting them to have teaching and research skills, we set great store by our staff possessing leadership qualities, creating social impact, being creative, and participating in public debate. While we definitely do not require academics to excel in every domain, we do encourage them to develop a variety of competencies so as to allow everyone’s talent to thrive.
This should be reflected in how academics are recognized and rewarded. Achieving this calls for a new procedure for assessing the work of academics that is more closely tailored to the requirements of knowledge and teaching institutions, and society at large. As this opinion is shared by all Dutch universities, they have joined hands in a Recognition & Rewards programme.
Invitation to lunch meeting: 'Vision on teams and academic community spirit'
Date and location: Thursday 3 April 2025 12-13:30 English room, Academy Building
The Recognition and Rewards Committee is developing a vision on teams and related themes (academic community spirit) and invites all stakeholders and in particular experts in this field within the RUG to participate in this lunch meeting on 3 April.
Merel Keijzer, member of the Recognition and rewards Committee, will introduce the dialogue session. We will then further explore specific questions about the vision in groups, test them against our experiences within the academy and supplement them with, for example, good practices from the faculties. The document will be sent a few days before the meeting. The input collected during the lunch meeting will then also be incorporated into the vision document by way of co-creation.
Language: Dutch (passive) and English.
Registrations and any dietary requirements for the meeting can be sent to wilma.tonkens rug.nl, preferably before Friday, March 28th.
You will receive confirmation of participation via the Google agenda.
