Here’s a summary of the motivation written by her peers for prof. dr. van Weert's induction:
She is an internationally renowned interdisciplinary and health communication researcher focused on health behavior change, information processing, technology, and AI, especially in underprivileged and vulnerable groups such as older patients, migrants, and those with low health literacy. Her work has been funded by national and international grants including the codesigned VOICE communication model to improve communication with patients with cancer used in more than 75 Dutch hospitals. She has published 155 peer reviewed journal articles and 80 other publications, and regularly appears in the public media as a national expert on Covid-19 and health communication. Julia van Weert has also supervised 25 PhD students (many of them award-winning) and seven postdoctoral fellows. (…)
Dr. Wojcieszak was credited in a different communication science field by her peers:
She is a leading political communication scholar whose innovative work is theoretically, methodologically, and socially significant. Her specific areas of focus are on deliberation, public opinion, and media effects. Her initial work resulted in her receiving ICA’s 2016 Early Career Scholar Award and the impact of her research has steadily grown since that time. Her productivity is clear with more than 70 peer-reviewed journal articles, two-co-authored books, and a half a dozen book chapters that have produced a Google Scholar citation count nearing 4,500.

Congratulations to them both!
