During National Vitality Week from Monday 21 to Sunday 27 September, extra attention is given to something that is important all year round: feeling vital and energised. For most people, this does not happen automatically. Taking action is up to you, but fortunately, you do not have to do it alone. That is why extra attention is being given to the wide range of vitality activities available to all employees of VU Amsterdam.
