<p class="MsoNormal">Dear all,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Next year, 2026, IXA will once again organise the Impact Training Programme. This programme is intended for mid-career assistant professors and associate professors with a research track record who want to translate their research and teaching
into social impact. The programme consists of six days spread over six months. The exact dates are listed in the attached flyers and short presentation. There will be two editions, one in the spring (in Dutch) and one in the autumn (in English).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Each faculty may nominate a maximum of three candidates per edition. Candidates must submit a CV and a short letter of motivation (max. 1 A4 page). Nominations can be sent directly to
<a href="mailto:valorisatie.beta@vu.nl">valorisatie.beta@vu.nl</a> by 8 October 2025 at the latest. An internal committee will assess the nominations. Those selected will be invited to attend intake interviews at IXA-GO; IXA-GO will inform the final participants
in mid-October.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
