Keynote by Dr. Stefan de Jong
The conference will kick-off with a keynote by Dr Stefan de Jong, a scholar with a rich background in academic research support. Stefan used to work as an impact- and grant adviser at Leiden University. Currently, he is an assistant professor at the Department of Public Administration and Sociology of Erasmus University Rotterdam. In 2023 he concluded a Marie Curie-Sklodowska Fellowship at the University of Chicago on the contribution of professional staff to academic knowledge production.
In his talk Stefan will shed light on the invisible forces in universities and elaborate on how his term ‘professional staff’ describes an important group of these invisible forces. He will discuss trends in research on professional staff and share his insights on how they enable research by connecting researchers to each other and society. The keynote will be followed by a stimulating panel discussion on the topic.
