Thank you Thomas, and sorry for not having performed a proper search
priorly.
Still, the thread you refered me to only provides half of what I need (if I
didn't miss anything):

I added the line:
\setuphead[chapter][chaptersegments=chapter]
which indeed got rid of the chapter number prefix.
Still,  the chapter numbering gets reset in each new part. How can I avoid
that?
