We are dedicated to creating a thriving open knowledge community. This challenges us to innovate and take action. Therefore, Leiden University commits to:

• Promote a culture of openness and transparency across the domains of teaching, research, patient care, as well as in the domain of organisation, administration and advice; 
• Strengthen the quality of our academic work rather than increasing the quantity of output and adopt a broader, more inclusive, approach to quality assessment;
• Value societal engagement and relevance as an integral part of academic work; 
• Set strategic team goals, and recognise and reward everyone’s contributions to these goals in a balanced and transparent manner; 
• Invest in personal and organisational leadership skills as a core competency for everyone in our organisation. 

These committments are based on the Academia in Motion Framework.
