Encouragement

The UvA FGw Aspasia Fund was established as an encouragement for women faculty members, to help them prepare to take a next step in their career by strengthening their academic profile. To this aim, it facilitates small grants for lecturers (D), assistant professors (UD) and associate professors (UHD) which can be tailored to individual needs that fit the applicants’ career stage as well as their personal circumstances in terms of, for example, care duties.

The Fund was made available by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) as part of Aspasia grants. A condition of the NWO grant used to be (until 2020) that part of the premium is used for diversity policy measures, which increase the career development of female staff within the institution.
