UG professor of cognitive neuropsychiatry Marie-José van Tol is one of this year’s winners of the AcademieKus from education union AOb. She’s getting the award because of her commitment to equal rights and less hierarchy within academia.
The jury praises Van Tol’s commitment, not only within the UG, but also as president of De Jonge Akademie, to get and keep the theme ‘Everyone Professor’ on the agenda. Last year, social safety expert Susanne Täuber, dismissed by the UG, was awarded the prize, for her commitment to gender equality at universities.
