Winners<\/h3>

When looking at the winners\u2019 list for the Education Award on the Erasmus University website, it is difficult to miss the striking predominance of male winners (forty-four male winners in total). Since 1987, it seems that only four female members of the academic staff were awarded with the Education Award<\/a>. After nineteen years since the last female winner (mw. dr. M. Halbertsma), Dr Mijke Slot was awarded with the prize in 2015<\/a>,\u00a0for her achievements in education innovation participating in the creation of the first Erasmus Magazine\u2019s MOOC (Massive Open Online Course).<\/p>\n

The majority of the winners appears to come from the largest faculties of the university, for instance Erasmus MC, ESE and the Faculty of Social Sciences. Smaller faculties seem to struggle to catch up. The reason doesn\u2019t have to be the smaller number of votes coming from these faculties: the winner is eventually elected by a jury.<\/p>\n

Complex procedure<\/h3>

The Education Prize is assigned by the Executive Board which is advised by a jury of experts made up of five members. These members are the Rector Magnificus who is the chairman, two professors and two students which change every year. The experts\u2019 jury is, in turn, advised by an education specialist and\u00a0the chairman of the Trust Fund.<\/p>\n

The 28th<\/sup> Education Award will be assigned at the end of August during the Opening of the Academic year<\/em> ceremony which last year took place the 31st<\/sup> August. The winner will get a certificate and\u00a07,000 euro<\/p>\n\n\t
