To create added value for our society, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam encourages and facilitates an enterprising attitude among our students and staff. The VU Campus is an inspiring place where academics, students, start-ups, scale-ups and civil society organisations work toward a better world.
At VU Amsterdam, we believe that an enterprising attitude is needed to address social issues and create added value for our society. We foster an enterprising spirit among our students and staff, and ensure a climate of sustainable entrepreneurship, where societal impact is paramount.
We are convinced that our education, research, knowledge transfer and operational management benefit from an enterprising attitude. For us, enterprising means seeing and seizing opportunities. Being creative and courageous. Taking risks and experimenting. And taking responsibility, also for our fellow humans and the environment.
