Collaboration

Community Engaged Learning (CEL) at Utrecht University is education in which students, lecturers and external partners work together on shared social issues. These external partners include organisations in the public sector, NGOs, research institutes, social enterprises or communities in society. Are you or does your organisation have an interest in collaborating with Utrecht University? Read about the possibilities on this page.

The external partners we work with in Community Engaged Learning (CEL) are often searching in what they can expect from UU: What do they get out of CEL? And what are the prerequisites for starting a collaboration? Therefore, we have also created a roadmap with information for organisations interested in collaborating with UU students and faculty.

Continuing Education

Besides CEL, there are also other ways to collaborate with UU, for example through our continuing education. In this, we combine results of scientific research with participants' practical knowledge. This creates new insights that participants can immediately apply in their work. Besides courses, we also offer tailor-made solutions, such as in-company programmes, co-creation or long-term partnerships. Are you curious what we can do for your organisation?
