To work thoroughly, effectively and goal-oriented manner, the Diversity Office lays out their plans in a Strategy Plan and an annual plan. Additionally, VU Amsterdam has put multiple policy plans into effect to tackle obstacles related to diversity and inclusion in the university.
The Strategy Plan of the Diversity Office functions as the thread that guides the efforts of the Diversity Office and as the remote prospect we’re working towards. The goals in the Strategy Plan are purposefully ambitious and work to encourage and inspire us.
Every year, the Diversity Office draws up an annual plan that puts flesh on the overarching goals in the Strategy Plan. With this annual plan, we gradually work towards maximal diversity and optimal inclusion.
