This requirement applies to all higher education institutions from 2022, and so also to VU Amsterdam. Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam endorses the European Commission’s aim of achieving gender equality in research, education, development, innovation and services. The University has long been committed to an inclusive work environment where all VU employees have the same opportunities, can develop to their full potential and can be themselves within the VU organisation. When it comes to diversity, VU Amsterdam welcomes and embraces ethnic, ideological, cultural, social, economic, age sexual and gender (ability) aspects, as well as people of all abilities.
The Gender Equality Plan is in line with this and formulates concrete measures and actions for the period 2022 -2025 under the themes 'recruit, work and appreciate'. An overview of the capacity and resources that will be made available for the implementation of the plan and the method of evaluating progress are included at the end of the document.
You can find the Gender Equality Plan of VU Amsterdam on this page.
