My personal motivation to be a member of University Council is that I find it very important that decision-making at this university should be clearly motivated and transparent. The university and especially the board of the university has to make clear how they create an environment where excellent academic education is provided that is nourished by scientific research. In my “normal” job at this university as programme director for Advanced Technology and Nanotechnology I am obviously heavily involved in the realization of this academic education. This allows me to bring a perspective and experience onto the table of the University Council that differs from the many others within the council.  All those different experiences and perspectives will provide the necessary palette of opinions that is at the base of a good discussion and with that of a clear and transparent decision making. As chairman of the University Council it is my responsibility that we have these good discussions in which the voice of each member can be heard and that we have good relation and exchange of information with the participation councils in faculties and service departments.
