IPN Board
The IPN board is appointed for a period of three years. In March 2025 the IPN members have elected a new board. The second term of most current IPN board members ends in 2025. Two of the new members start earlier in April 2025. The new and old board will work together on a smooth transfer of portfolio’s.
At the IPN Strategic Diner on NWO ICT.OPEN 2025 Catholijn Jonker hands over the IPN chairmanship to Marieke Huisman. IPN is very grateful to Catholijn Jonker for her many years of dedicated commitment and welcomes the new IPN chair and the new IPN board members.
