Lecturer Path within the new Academic Career Framework

with Wageningen University and Research

Is the recognition of lecturers in academia long overdue? In this episode, we discuss the new Academic Framework at Wageningen University and Research as a culture change that values teaching expertise and opens flexible career paths for academics. How much does your career depend on your chairholder—and how much research can you do as a lecturer? We also introduce the Lecturer Development Programme, offering space for lecturers to tackle their challenges and define their added value.

The panel of experts discussing the ACF included:

• Prof. Geert Smant, Chair of the Lecturers Committee, Laboratory of Nematology

• Denise Madegans, Project Leader of WUR Recognition and Rewards

• Dr. Melina Czymoniewicz-Klippel, Lecturer & Education Coordinator, Consumption and Health Lifestyles

• Dr. Tjerk Sminia, Educational Coordinator Chair of Organic Chemistry at WUR
