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 Board of the University in matters concerning quality assurance of research. The UCW is consulted about the University's strategic plan and can provide advice on all issues regarding research and research infrastructure.

Faculties may ask the UCW for advice in establishing collaborative programs between faculties or with external partners.
