Dear all,
Some of you may already have heard the news, but I wanted to let you know personally that I will be moving on from the VU to join Bielefeld University in Germany at the end of the academic year.
I have very much enjoyed my time at the VU. Over the past almost five years, I have had the opportunity to build a research group, work with students, and collaborate and discuss with many of you. I would like to thank you for all the support, discussions, and collaborations that have made my time here really enjoyable. While I am excited about this next step, I will miss many things about the VU and the department.
I will also still be around for a few more months and will be joining the staff retreat and the department event, so there will be plenty of opportunities to catch up before I leave. Even after that, there are ongoing projects, collaborations, and the supervision of students who will continue their work here, so I will be around every now and then.
Thank you all for these five years. I look forward to the coming months here with you and to staying in touch afterwards.
Best regards
Dierck
