Mirjam van Praag and Vinod Subramaniam signed an agreement on behalf of both Executive Boards extending the strategic cooperation between Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and University of Twente until 2030.
The VU and the UT have already been working closely together in education, research and valorisation since 2019. For example, students take technical courses in Amsterdam and earn a degree from UT. This year, the second group of students will graduate from Mechanical Engineering bachelor's programme and in September 2023 Creative Technology will start. There is also cooperation in research in the fields of sustainability, safety and digitalisation. More than 40 joint research projects have now been started!
With the continuation of the successful VU-UT cooperation, we can educate even more socially engaged (engineering)professionals and conduct multidisciplinary research for the complex challenges of our time.
