Stichting UvO
Publications such as books, e-books, (scientific) journals, and newspapers are indispensable for higher education. You can easily and quickly arrange the reuse of this content in your (higher) education through a licensing agreement with the Stichting UvO, or by making an individual request.
Stichting UvO is the starting point in the Netherlands to manage copyright within your educational institution (university, university of applied sciences (UAS), but also vocational education). Through UvO, you can handle the (re)use of publications (books, journals, newspapers, etc.), whether in a paper reader or on a digital learning environment such as Blackboard. With UvO's settlement agreements, educational institutions can easily arrange permission and compensation for the reuse of copyrighted material.
