In internationalization, the relationship and (sustainable) interaction between Dutch and international students and researchers play a role. It is therefore necessary to shape the internationalization policy in a way that promotes the involvement of all groups of students and researchers with a Dutch, international, or mixed background.

The primary objectives have therefore been formulated and amended as follows: 

• To prepare each student in the best possible way for a successful career in a dynamic, changing global society and labour market.
• To attract talented students with a view to enhancing the quality and diversity of the student population and our teaching.
• To strengthen the UvA’s role in the European and international research domains. 
• To strengthen the UvA’s international identity, actively facilitate social integration and inclusivity within its academic community and position it as an international employer.
