Her extensive relevant knowledge and experience will greatly advance the University in the coming years. As a woman and a representative of the academic staff, Britta van Kempen also contributes to an increase in diversity in the administration, which I very much welcome,” said the President of the University of Potsdam, Prof. Oliver Günther, Ph.D. Britta van Kempen succeeds Prof. Dr. Andreas Musil, who passed away on June 17, 2022, after a serious illness.
