Relationships with external organisations are established through special teaching and research remits. These collaborations contribute to Radboud University’s and the faculty’s connection to these external relations, and they provide opportunities for the desired teaching and research.
In the interest of transparency, we present an overview of the special teaching and research remits at Radboud University. This overview also includes externally financed regular appointments. For each teaching and research remit, we indicate who the associated professor is, which external organisation is involved, how the teaching and research remit is funded, and when it was established.
