Public list of decisions week 38

Below you will find the list of decisions taken by the Executive Board in the week of 15 September 2025 (week 38).

2001st meeting on 15 September 2025

  1. Study progress from a national perspective
    The Executive Board decided to commission the Academic Affairs (AA) division to identify a number of good practices, both internal and external. These can be obtained internally from faculties through discussions between the Rector and the Vice-deans of Education, the Education Platform and the Education Policy Officers meeting.
    The Board subsequently decided to commission AA to investigate whether there were any differences between, for example, national and international students or forms of prior education.

  2. Nomenclature protocol on campus
    The Executive Board approved the detailed nomenclature protocol, the deadlines described therein and the establishment of the Nomenclature Committee and appointed Prof. J.B. Oosterman as chair of the advisory committee for a maximum period of four years, with effect from 1 December 2025.

  3. Faculty of Philosophy, Theology and Religious Studies Teaching and Research Remit
    The Executive Board decided to retroactively grant the ‘Political Philosophy’ teaching and research remit to Prof. H.H.A. van den Brink with effect from 1 July 2025, for an indefinite period of time.

  4. Addendum to the policy letter
    The Executive Board decided that:
    1. Due to the restriction of the international intake of students for 2026, it will not push the remaining budget cuts from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) through to the faculties, but it will instead incorporate any structural effects in the 2027 policy letter.
    2. Rather than diverting the resources for young researchers from the resource framework, it will account for these resources for 2026 and 2027 through existing activities for young researchers;
    3. It will maintain the current shortfall and distribution of pre-Master’s students in 2027 in the resource allocation. The exact details of this shortfall, as well as the final allocation across the faculties, will be agreed with the University Joint Assembly (UGV). Any reallocation of the shortfall will then be included in the 2027 policy letter. 

  5. Distribution of royalties
    The Executive Board approved the proposal for the distribution of royalties in accordance with the ‘Income from Patents’ sub-regulations and commissioned the Research & Impact Department of the Academic Affairs division to arrange disbursement.

  6. Appointment of radiation supervisor
    The Executive Board decided to appoint P.S. van Lith as Radiation Protection Supervisor for the Faculty of Science-Neuroscience Department/Donders Institute with effect from 1 October 2025.

  7. Licence agreement between Radboud Teachers Academy and Frisse Blikken
    The Executive Board decided to renew the licence agreement between the Radboud Teachers Academy and Frisse Blikken, whereby Radboud Teachers Academy granted Frisse Blikken a licence for the matching tool it has developed.

  8. Extension of Faculty of Social Sciences special Teaching and Research Remit
    The Executive Board decided that Prof. R. Didden’s ‘Intellectual Disabilities, Learning and Behaviour’ special teaching and research remit, which was due to end on 1 October 2025, would be extended to the date of his retirement (which is currently scheduled for 28 April 2029).
