Recognition and Rewards - How the Academic Career Framework will shift the culture

never stop making silly dance moves.

At Wageninge University, the whole Tenure Track system has been renewed. In today’s episode, we dive into the role of Wageningen's new Academic Career Framework in bringing about long-overdue changes in the academic system. What does the Framework offer, and what does it leave out? Who’s behind its development, and what did the process look like? We’ll also address the common reactions, questions, and hopes surrounding the Framework. I’m joined by two passionate guests who are dedicated to improving the academic culture, and together, we’ll answer questions sent in by Tenure Trackers from Wageningen University.

Note: By now, the training for the committees has been developed. Also, for ACF-related questions, secretaries of each knowledge unit serve as a point of contact .
