We are building on a strong foundation and creating new opportunities for innovative research and young academic talent. This is particularly valuable at a time when complex societal issues call for cross-disciplinary collaboration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>NSCR interim director Peter van der Laan: \u201cNSCR has felt very welcome at VU for more than 15 years. The collaboration between NSCR and VU researchers has deepened and dozens of NSCR PhD candidates have obtained their doctorates at the VU. It is wonderful that this can continue for the next ten years.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><strong>A New Impulse<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The agreement introduces a PhD Fund. \u00a0This will enable the creation of new joint PhD positions for multidisciplinary research.<\/p>\n<p>The Amsterdam Law and Behaviour Institute (A-LAB) will continue as a network organization comprising VU faculties and the NSCR, with the goal of stimulating and strengthening interdisciplinary research. The A-LAB Network has a research budget for joint activities and research.<\/p>\n<p>The collaboration between VU Amsterdam and the NSCR has demonstrated for many years how research on crime is strengthened by connecting knowledge, talent and expertise.
