Societal engagement is embedded in VU Amsterdam’s DNA. This is reflected in the way researchers at VU Amsterdam work and approach their research. Our education and research are structured into four overarching societal themes: the Connected World, Governance for Society, Human Health and Life Science, and Science for Sustainability. This is how we encourage multidisciplinary cooperation which is needed to overcome the societal issues of today and the future.
VU Amsterdam’s staff and students are an extremely diverse group of people. Diversity and inclusiveness is something that we have striven for since the university was founded. It is a fundamental part of our identity. Our campus is a dynamic workplace that is constantly evolving. One aspect of its nature that doesn’t change its ‘inclusive excellence’. People feel they belong here and that their motivations, aspirations and ideas are fully accepted. All staff members at VU Amsterdam work hard to ensure that everyone feels welcome here.
