The Supervisory Board currently consists of Annelies van der Pauw (chairman), Jennifer Barnes, Angelique Palmen, Alain Dupont and Hans de Groene.

The profile of the Supervisory Board is geared to the desired development and strategy of UM, in which the Strategic Programme, the Knowledge-As Limburg, the performance agreements and quality assurance are central. The composition of the Supervisory Board is such that there is sufficient diversity in terms of individual profiles, age, gender and socio-cultural and scientific background.
