The successor to Ed Brinksma as president of the Executive Board is rector Annelien Bredenoord. A notable move, because Bredenoord\u2019s term in office has not yet concluded. Filling one vacancy leaves another one vacant: that of rector magnificus.<\/p>\n

With effect from 1 September, Annelien Bredenoord will step down as rector to become president of the Executive Board. That position will become vacant because Ed Brinksma is retiring<\/a>. He wants to spend more time with family and friends. Brinksma was also rector before his appointment in Rotterdam, but at the University of Twente.<\/p>\n

Bredenoord was professor of Ethics of Biomedical Innovation at University Medical Center Utrecht and Utrecht University for many years, as well as D66 parliamentary party leader in the Senate. On 1 October 2021, Bredenoord became rector<\/a>, making her the first woman in that role at Erasmus University Rotterdam. However, she will not be the first female president of EUR\u2019s Executive Board.<\/p>\n\n\t
