On November 10th, we are organising a farewell to mark the retirement of Professor Frank de Jong. You are very welcome to attend.

Knowledge-creating, artistic, opinionated and engaged

Frank works as Associate Professor of Responsive Learning, Knowledge Creation and Ecologically Intelligent Action, Academic Director of the Master’s programme in Learning and Innovation at Aeres University of Applied Sciences in Wageningen. He is also Professor of Responsive Learning & Knowledge Construction at the Open University.
