18.00 – 19.00 h Welcome reception at Academiegebouw, Hall of 1636 (included in the registration fee)
The name of this hall refers to the year that Utrecht University was founded. Its fireplace bears a picture of Van der Hoolck and Van Velthuisen, mayors of Utrecht in 1636. Furthermore, portraits of 100 female professors are displayed in the hall. On 10 February 1917, Johanna Westerdijk (1883–1961) gave her inaugural address and became the first female professor in the Netherlands at the age of 34. Precisely 100 years on, 22 per cent of the professors at Utrecht University are women. The portrait gallery hanging on this wall honours these current female professors.
