Data sharing agreements

All applicants are required to sign a data sharing agreement (DSA) before receiving their data. There are different types of DSA depending on whether you are employed by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (internal researcher form), outside VU but in the European Economic Area (external, within EEA form) or outside the EEA (external, outside EEA form).

The forms for external researchers need to be signed by the managing director of your division as well as the PI of your research project. They are countersigned by the chair of the NTR management team and the managing director of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

• Internal researcher (VU employees)
• External researcher within EEA
• External researcher outside EEA

NB: these are example forms; your actual DSA form, including DSR reference number and specification of the access fee will be sent to you after approval of your data request.
