Spin-offs

The Faculty of Science's research has also resulted in the founding of many different spin-off companies that develop applications for and/or with industrial and societal partners.

Creating opportunities

Collaboration creates opportunities for students and researchers at our faculty, as many research projects offer students the chance to do interesting and highly educational internships with our partners. It also offers researchers greater diversity in their work and career.

Enterprising students and researchers who see opportunities to do more with their academic expertise can apply for support from the Amsterdam Center for Entrepreneurship (ACE) and the Innovation Exchange Amsterdam (IXA).
