First of all, congratulations on your appointment as the Dean of our faculty. 1 You have challenging times ahead of you. To what extent did a sense of duty play a role in your acceptance of the position?
I would say that a sense of duty certainly played a role. However, now that I have held the position of Dean for about two and a half months, I also notice that I enjoy it. It is a privilege to be in this position and to lead this organisation – I realise that more and more. As vice-dean, I was, of course, already involved in the process, but it is rather different to actually be in charge.
