Lijst FHML vooruit
FHML and the academic hospital have been working together for more than 15 years under the umbrella flag MUMC+, where both partners operate while retaining their own identity and responsibility.
The faculty interests regarding education and research must receive our special attention in order to achieve optimal cooperation results.
The party FHML has been able to contribute to this in a constructive manner for many years, as a democratically elected representative of the scientific staff. Our list, composed of and supported by representatives from the faculty’s scientific staff, aims to function as an intermediary between employees and management, but with its own responsibility.
A number of important developments will be on the agenda in the coming years, such as workload, the renewal of a number of curricula, internationalization, the collaboration between MUMC+ and the UM, the further development of the Randwyck campus, as an educational and research organization, but also in terms of spatial needs and urban development developments.
That is why we ask you to vote again in this election round to support the importance of democratically elected representation in the management of the faculty.

Paul Volders
The Faculty Council is the representative advisory board, elected by the students and staff. The Council advises the Board of the faculty, solicited and unsolicited.
In my function of medical specialist, principal investigator and professor, and as a former student of our beautiful University, I wish to commit myself to advise the Faculty Board. Among the topics for which advice and consent will be important are the integration of MUMC and the University, the various themes of Recognizing and Valuing, and the alluring attraction of FHML for new students, supporting, teaching and scientific staff, and nurses and doctors.
Martina Paric
As a lecturer and PhD candidate at FHML, I strive for a transparent, accountable, and fair faculty environment. My dual role allows me to bridge the PhD Council and Faculty Council, ensuring that both academic staff and early-career researchers are heard. FHML is a community, and its culture and values should be reflected in decision-making. With key developments ahead—on workload, sustainability, and uncertainties regarding internationalization—I am committed to providing advice that support growth for all. I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute as a member of the Faculty Council.
