New Peer to Peer Group Coaching - Registration Open!

How does Amsterdam UMC recognize and value academic work?

Many academics experience an overly one-sided emphasis on research performance, resulting in an excessive urge to publish and an even higher workload. Other qualities of academics, such as teaching, impact, leadership and patient care, remain underexposed as a result. But this is changing thanks to the national program Recognition & Rewards which seeks to rebalance the perception of academic work. As an academic employee, you are key to this change.

Reporting & Signaling Doctoral School

In order to contribute to a pleasant and safe PhD working environment, the Doctoral School wants to actively do something with the information we receive from the coaching conversations.
