New committee members 2024

In recent months, new committee members were appointed in the fields of design, architecture and digital culture. In early October 2023, the Creative Industries Fund NL circulated an open call for advisers with a position as maker, designer, researcher, observer or storyteller, for example, other expertise within the creative industries. The new advisers will reinforce the various advisory committees with their expertise for the coming period. New committee members will remain appointed for a minimum of one to a maximum of four years.

advisory committee

At the Creative Industries Fund NL, each advisory committee consists of a chair and a pool of advisers, each with expertise within the creative industry. The committee members advise on the content-related and qualitative value of the grant applications in the light of the Fund’s grant schemes and objectives. This advice is presented to the Board, which then takes the decision on whether to award a subsidy. New advisers are recruited every year to replace those who have reached their maximum term.

selection

There were a total of 160 responses to the call. All the responses were submitted to an independent external selection committee that recommended candidates to the Board. The selection committee consisted of Valentijn Byvanck (chair), Ebru Aydin, Barbara Kuit and Kitty Leering. When filling the requested profiles, consideration was given to expertise, diversity, complementarity and specific specialisms within the various committees. For the Talent Development, Internationalization Design Sector and Four-year Institutional Grant Schemes, the Fund approaches candidates itself.
