The University of Birmingham and the University of Amsterdam are joined in a strategic partnership that aims to build upon our long-standing Universitas 21 connection, and enhance collaborative opportunities between our institutions. The partnership prioritises two thematic areas:
Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
Drawing on the outstanding EDI related research at the Universities of Birmingham and Amsterdam, our partnership will see academic and professional services colleagues from across both institutions working together to share research and best practice, and to work collaboratively to embed EDI across institutional policy and governance, research, and education.

Health Sciences
Building on our mutual membership of the Universitas 21 Health Sciences Group, and existing collaborations in health research, our partnership will enhance opportunities for joint research and training, medical student and academic exchanges, and joint training courses.
