We look forward to working with Huib and wish him a warm Welkom. The Management Team is pleased to welcome a new Director with a stellar scientific track record and a reputation of quiet leadership, decisiveness, inclusiveness and congeniality. Along with the challenges of the global pandemic, there will be much for Huib to do!
