Farewell reception Ed Brinksma 2 December

Upcoming 2 December, Ed Brinksma will be leaving as rector. We warmly invite you and your partner to be present at his farewell reception.

A scientist fascinated by the interaction with art. An educator who believes that an excellent researcher should also be an outstanding teacher. A manager who will spend an evening cooking with the students, to find out what is going on. A natural orator with understated humour; reading the complex titles of winning theses out loud with obvious pleasure, in perfect English.

As Rector Magnificus of the University of Twente, Ed Brinksma has pursued his own creative paths and has not let classical divisions stand in his way. Over the past eight years he has been able to leave his mark on in-depth educational innovation and new connections in research. Is he himself the ‘empathic engineer’, or homo universalis, he referred to in his last Dies lecture?
