Coronavirus information

The UvA is closely monitoring developments around the coronavirus. Government measures to limit the coronavirus outbreak's impact are having a major impact on UvA staff and students.  We're offering online teaching as much as possible, staff are working from home and events are being cancelled. We’re working on measures, solutions and answers to enable, and facilitate, working and studying in these circumstances. It’s a difficult time that brings with it a lot of uncertainty and questions. We will continue to inform everyone as quickly and completely as possible via this website, UvA newsletters and Canvas.
