Projects that support the acquisition, restoration and accessibility of academic-cultural heritage are eligible for support from the Amsterdam University Fund. A requirement is that the projects have a direct relationship with the UvA and cannot be funded from regular resources.

Upon completion of the project, the applicant must submit a report so that we can inform our contributors about the use of the fund, and possibly include the project in the newsletter and annual report of the Amsterdam University Fund.
