IJsbrand Haagsma will leave the 4TU.Federation to continue his career on 1 November 2020 as Special Envoy for Public Affairs at the University of Twente. Haagsma took office as secretary of the 3TU.Federation on 1 July 2012. During his secretarial position, the partnership of the technical universities was expanded to include Wageningen University.
Chairman Louise O. Fresco is very grateful for his efforts over the past 8 years. During that period, the position of the partnership was strengthened and Haagsma played a vital role in improving the funding for the technical universities.
Fresco: “IJsbrand Haagsma has contributed enormously to strengthening the mutual relationships and the position that 4TU occupies in the Netherlands”.
The board of the 4TU.Federation has now initiated the procedure to fill the vacancy. A profile and a vacancy text will be published shortly.
