University of Amsterdam Welcomes Mireille van Eechoud as New Dean of Amsterdam Law School

The Executive Board of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) has appointed Prof. Mireille van Eechoud, professor of Information Law, as dean of the Amsterdam Law School as of 1 January 2025. The appointment is for a period of four years. Van Eechoud has been in the position of dean on a temporary basis since 1 January this year.
The appointment was made in consultation with the faculty’s Works Council and the Faculty Student Council.

‘In recent months, I have come to know Mireille van Eechoud as an exceptionally skilled and collegial manager. Moreover, she is a connector par excellence. She has a clear vision for the direction of the faculty and knows how to bring people together, both inside and outside the faculty, to further strengthen the impact of its education and research. I am therefore very pleased that Mireille wants to continue to serve as dean in the coming years,’ says Edith Hooge, president of the Executive Board and chair of the appointment advisory committee.
