University Committee for Academic Practice (UCW)

The University Committee for Academic Practice (Universitaire Commissie Wetenschapsbeoefening, UCW) is an independent advisory committee of the Board of the University. The UCW advises the Board of the University on matters concerning academic practice within the RUG, both on request and independently, with the aim of contributing to the continuous improvement of the quality of research.

The main task of the UCW is to advise the University Board, Faculty Boards and Research Directors on matters concerning the quality assurance of research. In addition, the UCW can provide advice on all issues regarding research practice, unsolicited or at request.
