Why choose Wageningen University & Research?
We asked our staff what makes working at Wageningen University & Research (WUR) so interesting. This revealed a clear top six list of positive aspects and good reasons to come and work at WUR.
Why work at WUR?
Nice colleagues at WUR
Results from employers' surveys show that Wageningen University & Research staff highly regard their direct colleagues and managers, as well as their willingness to work together in a pleasant working atmosphere.
'"The good relationships between colleagues make for a really pleasant working atmosphere."''
Although we are a large organisation with almost 7,000 people working at locations throughout the Netherlands, you will often be part of a small project team of colleagues from different departments. You will get to know your colleagues within a relatively short period of time as a new employee at WUR.
Independence in your work
At WUR, you are given a lot of freedom to carry out your work independently. This can only be done, of course, within the given strategic boundaries of the organisation.
'"Autonomy at work is great - the flexibility to decide how you can contribute."''
This large amount of independence can also be found in the engagement of national and international partnerships. We are convinced that this leads to new chances and Wageningen University & Research is leading within the world of research in this area. Our staff are also very satisfied with the good work-life balance.
