VU University Amsterdam: looking further
Ever since it was founded in 1880, VU University Amsterdam has been
known for its distinctive approach to knowledge. VU is an open
organization, strongly linked to people and society. What matters is not
just the acquisition of a greater depth of knowledge, but also a wider
one. We ask and expect our students, researchers, PhD candidates and
employees to look further – to look further than their own interests and
their own field, and further than what is familiar and further than the
here and now.
VU Strategic Plan 2011 - 2015
‘VU: looking further’ links the origins of VU with its ambitions for the future and the content of the VU Strategic Plan 2011 – 2015 (SP).
The SP sets out the ambitions, objectives and policy measures for the
next five years. The starting point of the SP is the VU Vision 2025,
which states where VU University Amsterdam wishes to be in 2025.
Freedom in responsibility: three core values
Academic research and education at VU is characterized by a high level
of ambition, and encourages free and open communications and ideas. VU
stands for universal university values such as academic freedom and
independence, which is reflected in our name (‘VU’ is the Dutch
abbreviation for ‘free university’): free from the church, state and any
commercial interest. The basic philosophy of VU is expressed in three
core values:
- responsible
- open
- personally engaged
