The University of Twente is to take on some 30 new researchers in science and technology. This recruitment drive reiterates its ambition to profile itself as a modern and entrepreneurial university. With student numbers increasing, UT needs to safeguard its outstanding educational provision and high-quality scientific research for the future. Funding for the positions has been secured under the National Sector Plans scheme.
RESEARCH BOOST
The new positions and the increase in research capacity will contribute towards greater diversity in the university’s academic workforce. In addition, they will encourage more co-operation between faculties.
The growing number of students is another reason for taking on additional researchers, as they are needed to guarantee the high standard of education at UT and to maintain the good rankings of its BSc and MSc programmes in science and technology subjects.
