The UvA will also continue to invest in state-of-the-art research facilities that will improve the quality of research. We consider scientific integrity and open science to be essential prerequisites for the quality of research.
The UvA is a leading research-intensive university, where high-quality research takes place across the full breadth of the university and where teaching and research are inextricably linked. The UvA carries out high-quality research, and in order to maintain that high level of quality and retain its leading international position, the UvA has developed a strategic framework with a number of new areas of focus.
The University of Amsterdam is committed to embedding the principles of Open Science in our organisation. Open Science means that our researchers open up the windows and doors to science, and make their work openly available as possible: research data, methods and results become accessible to everyone. We believe this is important because it leads to a more transparent, higher quality research practice and increases the impact of our research.
