Recognition & Rewards

UM wants to ensure every employee has a fulfilling career in which their capabilities are used, seen and recognised by others.

In 2019, Dutch public academic institutions and funders of research (UNL, NFU, KNAW, NWO and ZonMw) launched a nationwide initiative to redefine the recognition and reward of university staff.

Our university's president Rianne Letschert is co-leading the programme for the entire university sector together with the rector of the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam.
