CE&C director has not yet returned, despite court ruling

2 October 2025 - Mark de Graef has not yet returned as managing director for the Department of Chemical Engineering & Chemistry (CE&C). The reason for this is unclear. Last month, the court ruled that TU/e had wrongfully replaced him during his illness and must reinstate him as of October 1. It is up to the parties themselves to ensure that the judgment is complied with.

A spokesperson has announced that TU/e will not be making any statements at this time, but will provide more details soon. De Graef, his attorney, and co-director Sham Moodliar have also not responded. With De Graef's return still pending, the question arises as to what consequences this will have for the current situation, in which two managing directors have been appointed to the same department. / MV, BAS
