We are pleased to announce the fourth edition of the Recognition & Rewards festival. The festival will take place on the 8th of November, 2024.
During the festival we would like to offer several on site workshops related to the festival theme of this year. This year the Recognition & Rewards Festival’s theme is ‘Developing diversified and talented teams’

The festival will kick off with a plenary session in which we give room for diverse perspectives, examples and ideas related to the theme. We will take a moment to reflect on the steps taken in the past year and, of course, discuss what still lies ahead. After the plenary start, we will split up into groups in which participants can discuss subjects in more depth. There will be two rounds of onsite workshops.
Submission of workshop proposals is closed. The deadline to do so was the 31st of May, 2024.
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 executives. Think of a supervisor 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.
