Panel discussion on collaboration with third parties

During this panel discussion, we will discuss collaboration with third parties. Yvonne Donders was chair of the ad hoc working group that advised the Executive Board to make additions to the existing policy framework on collaboration with third parties. Now, she is involved in drawing up guidelines, which is done by Advisory Committee on Collaboration with Third Parties. Together with the panel members, she will explain the structure and process of this policy framework.

Since last year, the UvA has been working on new guidelines allowing for external collaborations to be more extensively assessed. The specific aim of the new guidelines is to prevent the UvA from contributing to human rights violations, misuse of knowledge for unwanted military purposes or serious damage to the environment through educational or research collaborations. The revised framework is expected to be adopted in the course of this academic year. Parallel to that process, the permanent Advisory Committee on Collaboration with Third Parties has issued advice on three specific cases, which were adopted by the Executive Board.

During this panel discussion for students and staff of the Faculty of Humanities, the assessment of collaborations with third parties will be discussed, as well as the ethical and security considerations involved. Yvonne Donders, professor of International Human Rights and Cultural Diversity at the Faculty of Law, is involved in the expansion of the framework and will be present to explain the principles and process. The other panel members have experience with such collaborations from different perspectives.
