a corporate contribution, or a legacy gift: your support helps us keep running independent research and monitoring, develop evidence-based policy for structural change in academia, and fund fellowships for women scientists. Because we are an ANBI, your gift is tax-deductible. 4/4 www.lnvh.nl/anbi

LNVH is exactly the kind of cause such a contribution can support, improving the position of women in academia across all backgrounds, disciplines, and institutions, and helping to build a safe, inclusive academic environment. Whether it's a one-time gift, a recurring donation, 3/4

The timing is perfect: Dutch universities and their university funds just launched a national campaign encouraging people to include science and talent development in their wills. But a legacy gift does not have to go directly to a university. As an ANBI-registered organisation, 2/4

It took stacks of paperwork, a lot of patience, and more coffee than we'd like to admit, but we're proud to share that LNVH (the Dutch Network of Women Professors) has officially been recognised as an ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) by the Dutch tax authorities. 🎉1/4

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

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.

LNVH - Dutch Network of Women Professors @lnvh.nl · 08/12/2025
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%.

LNVH - Dutch Network of Women Professors @lnvh.nl · 08/12/2025
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%.
