The 2025 LNVH Women Professors Monitor is now available in English! Women now make up 29.9% of full professors in NL. An important milestone, though progress remains slow and uneven. The strong pool of women associate professors offers real potential for acceleration. 🔗 lnvh.nl/monitor2025

We are pleased to announce that the next LNVH Spring Symposium will take place on June 18, 2025. Details about the program, speakers, and location will be shared at a later moment. For now, we invite you to mark your calendar and stay tuned for further updates.

LNVH is proud partner of NWO Insight Out, the national career event for women+ in STEM. Join us on February 12 for sessions on career development, leadership, visibility, and equity. Register now to connect through keynotes, workshops, and networking. www.nwoinsightout2026.nl

At the request of the LNVH, the 14 Dutch universities have set new targets for women professors for 2025 - 2030. These targets aim to maintain the progress made and move closer to equal representation across all academic positions. 1/2

The share of women full professors at the university medical centers increased from 31.6% in 2024 to 33.2% in 2025. After surpassing the 30% threshold for the first time last year, reaching the point where one in three professors is a woman marks yet another (almost) achieved milestone.

For the first time, more than half of the positions on Executive Boards are held by women, reaching an average of 51.3%. This development marks an important milestone! At the same time, the share of Supervisory Board positions held by women remains lower at 44.9%.

If the share of women professors continues to grow at its current rate, gender parity among full professors will not be reached until late 2040. However, when projecting future growth on the basis of the past three years, parity is not expected to be achieved until 2043.

The 2025 Women Professors Monitor shows that the proportion of women, especially in the higher academic positions, still drops significantly with each successive job category. End of 2024, the average percentage of women professors at Dutch universities is 29.9%.
