The School of Humanities is very successful in raising research funds. Recruitment takes place in many ways and through active networks. Our research is often interdisciplinary and has a strong social component.
In the first place, there is a lot of collaboration with other faculties within VU Amsterdam and within the school itself via IOZI: interfaculty research institutes. SH plays an active role in the Network Institute. In addition, individual researchers are also active in the Amsterdam Sustainability Institute. Due to the participation in the Network Institute (strong emphasis on our digital world), involvement in the VU Connected World theme is high.
This is closely related to the broad network and the interdisciplinary attitude of the humanities researcher and indicates that the relevance of the Humanities is broad.
At the Research Department we support our scientists in various areas:
- Research Office
- Humanities Lab
- Research Data Management
- Software Advice
- Ethics and Integrity
