Collected list
In the interests of transparency, the ancillary activities of professors and endowed professors is published quarterly in a collected list. Information on professors and their ancillary activities can now be found in one recognisable place, in addition to on their personal profile pages. With this collected list, Dutch universities are aiming to improve the disclosure of data on professors' ancillary activities. Universities share the opinion of the Minister of Education, Culture and Science that it must be clear who is involved in funding professorial chairs and scientific research, what work for third parties professors carry out and how this relates to their work at the university. This will eliminate any impression of conflicts of interest.
The collected list is updated around 1 March, 1 June, 15 September, and 1 December. The reference date of the current collected list is 10 september 2024. This list includes details that must be declared on the basis of the sectoral scheme covering Ancillary activities. Emeritus professors are not part of this list.
The collected list includes a separate tab for VU Amsterdam and for ACTA.
