Utrecht School of Arts
In 2005, Utrecht University and the Utrecht School of the Arts (Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht, HKU) founded the Professional School of the Arts Utrecht (PSAU). PSAU not only provides teaching, it also offers artist-researchers, scientists and students the possibility of conducting research into subjects at the interface of Art and Science.

City and Province of Utrecht
In October 2006, Utrecht University and the City of Utrecht entered into an agreement for (further) cultural collaboration. This covenant is valid until 2013 and aims to extend and enhance existing collaboration, which has already resulted in a number of initiatives, such as Vrede van Utrecht (Treaty of Utrecht), the Museum District, Cultural Sundays and Utrecht City of Festivals.
Utrecht University and the Province of Utrecht are active partners in the Innovation Task Force, which launches projects to stimulate knowledge-intensive economic developments in the Utrecht region.
