At the beginning of this year the Executive Board (CvB) established its Strategic Plan for 2021 - 2026, entitled Inspiring generations. This states what is needed to maintain and expand our position as a university: how we can work on the development of talent, how we can utilise the scope and breadth of our different disciplines, what we will need to pay special attention to in the 2020s and how we can become more inclusive and agile as an organisation.
The plan starts with the UvA's core values and main challenges. From these flow six cohesive ambitions:
- Education & Research: we continue to deliver top quality across the board
- Students: we invest in excellent and inspiring education
- Partners: we enhance our work through external cooperation
- Responsibility: we put our public values into practice
- Staff: we are a magnet for talent
- Organisation: we are agile thanks to our process and governance design
In the plan these ambitions are further elaborated on and concrete steps are set out on the way to a culture in which these ambitions can be realised. We have six years to do this, which means we don't need to do everything right away.
