Sector plans

Starting in 2022, the Dutch government has been investing in sector plans, which are collaborative initiatives for higher education and science. Through these plans, universities work together on a range of societal themes. FASoS is actively involved in plans focused on the human factor in new technologies, inequality and diversity, humane AI, language and culture, cultural heritage and identity, and disinformation and democracy. Several newly appointed Assistant Professors and postdocs, and The PLANT, are contributing to the advancement of these themes both within and beyond the Faculty.
