by We are very much looking forward to our next Recognition & Rewards festival. This vibrant event will be held on the 8th of November, 2024 (09.30 – 17.00h) at the Mauritskazerne in Ede (Within walking distance of station Ede-Wageningen). We are very happy to welcome you to participate in the festival.
You can now sign up for the festival and select two workshops of your preference.
This year the Recognition & Rewards Festival’s theme is ‘Developing diversified and talented teams’ (Read more).
During the Recognition & Rewards Festival, we will zoom in on this. We will focus on a team-oriented mindset and concrete tools to put Recognition & Rewards into practice within teams.
Workshops
Out of the many proposals we have selected 20 workshops to be organised during the festival. The workshops will specifically address the festival’s subject matter of developing diversified and talented teams. For example, there are workshops discussing how participants can open-up the conversation about team-based working within their department, research groups etc. and how to think about talents, development, ambitions, competencies and complementarity instead of the single focus on skills or outputs that people already have on an individual level. With workshops on recognising diverse PhD trajectories for example, we certainly want to involve early career academics as well.
We also look at what role leadership plays in academic teams. And what leadership means for talent selection, assessment and development. Participants will gain an understanding of the function of inclusive leadership in fostering diverse teams. They will learn practical strategies for effectively recognising and rewarding diverse talents, ultimately enhancing their ability to implement inclusive leadership practices within their teams.
You can indicate your choice of workshops in the registration form. More information on the workshops can be found on the website. Keep an eye on the website for updates on the programme.

For this edition of the Recognition & Rewards Festival, we want to specifically invite various groups. The first of these are early career academics for whom Recognition & Rewards will have the greatest impact on their own careers. The second group are committee members involved in promotion and appointments (such as from researcher to Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and Associate Professor to Full Professor). As a third group, we like to invite academics in leadership position. Think of heads of a department, institute or research group. In addition, we also like to invite the support staff of these target groups, for example secretaries of appointment advisory committees and HR advisors, but also, for example, grant advisors who advise early career academics or secretaries of graduate schools who are involved in PhD policy.
The festival is organised by the Recognition & Rewards Programme, a partnership between the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW), the Netherlands Federation of University Medical Centres (NFU), the Ideologically Based Universities (NLU), the Dutch Research Council (NWO), Universities of The Netherlands (UNL) and the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development (ZonMw) with funding and support from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science.
We hope you are enthusiastic to participate and share your perspective, allowing us to shape and implement the next steps of the Recognition & Rewards programme together.
