At Amsterdam UMC, international collaboration is at the heart of our mission to advance healthcare. We work with top-tier partners like Harvard Medical School, University College London, the Karlolinska Institute, and many more. We do this to enable our researchers and clinicians and researchers to share knowledge, resources and best practices on a global scale.
Our participation in major European consortia and global health networks means we are at the cutting edge of research. By leading and joining international clinical trials, we bring the latest treatments and innovations directly to our patients. We also offer unique opportunities to students, scientists and healthcare professionals to engage in cross-border training and exchange programmes.
