Access to open data en datasets
At Amsterdam Business School, researchers can make use of many database licenses that provide rich and societally relevant data and datasets for their research through the University Library. The University Library strives to make its collections as open as possible, including the data and metadata required to access these, and to make the products of education and research of the institutions of the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and of education and research institutions across the globe as accessible as possible. Providing open access to the collection metadata in various ways and through various channels plays a central role in this regard.
Collaboration with Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS)
An institutional collaboration with the Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS) enables university researchers to have access to a wealth of data on the Dutch economy and society through Statline.

Funding
The University of Amsterdam has a funding opportunity database which can be utilised by all UvA staff, academics and students looking for ways to fund their research. It is also a useful tool to locate funding opportunities for smaller grants such as a travel gran to attend a conference. You can ask the Research Institute (Bas Bouten) for the list or look at the IXA website for opportunities. IXA officer Soraya Mols can be contacted for support (and is at the ABS usually every week). ABS also has a support scheme (see below).
