Presentation 2025 Women Professors Monitor
The Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) warmly invites you to the presentation of the 2025 Women Professors Monitor on Monday, 8 December 2025, at Delft University of Technology.
During this event, we will present the latest figures on gender representation within Dutch academia, including insights into the positions and participation of women across universities, university medical centers, and other institutions. The presentation will include a reflection on the outcomes of the 2025 Monitor by LNVH Chair Yvonne Benschop.
At the request of the LNVH, universities have jointly established new target figures for 2030. Together with representatives from the universities, we will look ahead and discuss these ambitions during an interactive session with speakers and participants.
New LNVH research on Academic Management
On October 1st, the Dutch Network of Women Professors (LNVH) published its research report 'Managing Academia: Access, Professional Appreciation and Institutional Influence in Dutch Academic Management Roles'.
The report highlights that formalised and transparent appointment procedures are crucial to ensuring fair access to management positions and to meaningfully advancing diversity. In addition, the report underscores the importance of professional development, sufficient time and resources, and structural mentoring, enabling academic leaders to perform their roles with excellence and to safeguard social safety within their institutions.
