Lectorates
A lectorate is a unit in an UAS that revolves around a specific subject and is headed by a lector, who is an expert in that subject.
A lector occupies a chair at an UAS and is the centre of a network called "kenniskring", a knowledge network. He or she conducts applied research in a specific area of expertise and maintains contacts within relevant branches of business or industry. At Fontys University of Applied Sciences the activities of lectors include heading projects ( with active participation of the teaching staff and students), supervising students’ final research projects, supervising PHD- students, teaching, and/ or supporting the research activities of other lectures. Fontys University counts 38 lectorates.
