The professor of Paediatrics and Epidemiology at Erasmus MC will, over the next five years, have the opportunity, time and budget to focus on creating social impact. Jaddoe is already doing so through the Generation R programme, in which he and fellow researchers have been following ten thousand Rotterdam residents from birth. With this new appointment, Jaddoe hopes to ensure that the results of this research \u2018find their way even more deeply into society\u2019. Eveline Crone, Moniek Buijzen, Frank van Oort and Jun Borras were previously appointed as Erasmus Professors.<\/p>\n

Groundbreaking contribution<\/h2>

In her Dies speech, rector magnificus Jantine Schuit called for curiosity towards one another, as \u2018curiosity connects and knowledge transforms\u2019. \u201cIt is time that we start using language that connects rather than alienates. That means listening more carefully to the people in the city. Let them tell their stories, share their ideas\u201d, she told the audience in the Aula.<\/p>\n

Besides Jaddoe, British professor Patrick Bolton was also invited on stage during the Dies. He received an honorary doctorate from the Rotterdam School of Management, presented by RSM professor Dirk Schoenmaker.<\/p>\n

The professor of Finance and Economics at Imperial College London received this honorary title for his \u2018groundbreaking contributions in the fields of contract theory, corporate finance and industrial organisation\u2019. In recent years, Bolton has focused on climate finance, exploring how companies can also act responsibly.<\/p>\n
