The connection between education and research characterizes the academy. The VU doesn’t only connect research and education in the curriculum, but also explicitly in the academic career. Every scientist, including one whose career has a stronger focus on education, should have a base in research and this base must be preserved throughout their career. In general, it is impossible to have an academic career without demonstrable experience and proven expertise in education. The VU offers scientists who are particularly committed to education, the opportunity to make a career up to the level of professor. The VU has currently appointed several professors.
