Executive Director of Campus The Hague appointed
It was necessary to appoint an Executive Director of CDH because implementing the Campus Strategy, which runs until 2030, requires more attention. The number of projects has increased, making a project-based approach necessary. The Executive Director will be the internal face of CDH and will be responsible for overseeing the administrative support.
