Executive Board

The Executive Board is ultimately responsible for the policies of the university, including the appointment of deans, directors and professors. The Board can also initiate new programmes and related research institutes and is responsible for managing finances and other management tasks.

Following the departure of Rianne Letschert, the Supervisory Board of UM has decided on a temporary new formation of the Executive Board. As of 1 March, Pamela Habibović will become chair of the board, and Jan Smits will become rector magnificus. Both appointments are for a period of six months, until 1 September 2026. Together with vice-chair Jan-Tjitte Meindersma, the Executive Board will be back to full strength in the short term.
