Welcome at VU Amsterdam - for employees

Last updated on 6 June 2025
When you first join VU Amsterdam, there are several things that need to be arranged or requested. Some of these things will be taken care of for you, but others you will need to do yourself.

On this page you will find an overview of the things you need to think about in the first months of your employment. This information is provided by HR, Occupational Health, Safety and the Environment (HR & HSE).

Some matters need to be arranged promptly if you wish to be able to use the corresponding facility on time. For others, it is important to be aware of them so that you know they exist. This document also sets out the most important regulations that you will encounter at some point in your work. 

Matters to be arranged and take note of immediately

Arrange within one to six months of starting your new job
