Virtual Assembly

The Virtual Assembly (VA) is a restricted online platform for ReThinkers at the ‘back end’ of our website—one may compare it with an intranet—aimed at easing internal communications. The VA is restricted to the ReThink UvA community and is therefore not publicly accessible. ReThinkers can sign up here to have access. The VA is an additional channel of communication and does not replace the mailing lists; it rather takes a share of the overall traffic and alleviates the current pressure on mailboxes.

General Mailing List

For the purpose of exchanging ideas and information on the new university, UvA staff members and associates use the mailing list [email protected].
