Anet Weterings

The Faculty of Economics and Business is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Anet Weterings to the special chair Regional and Circular Economic Development. This chair is a joint initiative of FEB, the Faculty of Spatial Sciences and the three northern provinces: Drenthe, Friesland, Groningen. The provinces are subsidizing this chair, as the theme of Regional Economic Development and Circular Economy is high on the Provincial agenda. The chair will be established at the C.R. Rao Foundation.

In her role as special chair Weterings will conduct scientific research into regional development -among others in the northern Netherlands - with a focus on the circular economy, sustainable agriculture and the energy transition. The goal is to contribute to the quality of political-administrative decision-making within national and regional policy processes. This will be done by transferring knowledge about regional development and resilience and a more sustainable economy to regional governments, the business community and society.
