Since 2003, evaluations of the research at Dutch universities have been carried out on the basis of a national protocol, the Standard Evaluation Protocol (SEP). This protocol lays down the agreements on the evaluation of publicly funded research in the Netherlands that Dutch universities have made with the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). The SEP specifies that research will be evaluated per institute every six years by independent external experts. The UvA has also adopted  the SEP's specifications within its own in-house research evaluations.

The reports containing the assessment results are public. Below you can download the assessment reports of the evaluations of UvA research which have been carried out since the introduction of the SEP.
