My mandate started on 20 October 2023. I would like first to deeply thank the previous team composed of Prof. Jean-Marc Schlenker as Dean and Prof. Serge Haan as Vice-Dean for their services.
I am also delighted to confirm that Prof. Bradley Ladewig has been appointed as Vice-Dean.
The Faculty is deeply engaged in addressing key scientific, societal, and industry challenges, and naturally plays an important and central role in the University. It encompasses a wide range of the most important academic disciplines with extensive industry engagement. The Faculty benefits from substantial third-party research funding support, actively engage in outreach efforts, and strives to have a meaningful impact on society. Moreover, it offers comprehensive education programmes from bachelor to PhD levels and plays a pivotal role in training professionals. We are committed to strengthening and reinforcing the prominence and recognition of the Faculty, emphasising the critical role it plays, especially in education, which is one of the fundamental missions of any University.
Our team will collaborate closely with the Directors of the relevant ICs, the other Deans’ teams and the Rectorate to achieve a mutually agreeable, win-win outcome that enables all colleagues (Faculty and IC-based) to pursue their ambitions while upholding the core functions of the University.
