Cao negotiations: seeking a balanced package

How do we arrive at a good balance between wage increases and matters like extending leave, a generational policy or commuting expenses compensation? This question was the focus of the third consultation round for a new cao for umc employees, held on Friday afternoon, November 3, in Breukelen. On behalf of all umcs, the Netherlands Federation of University Medical Centres (NFU) is conducting the talks with the unions.

1. Complex care, knowledge and expertise

The umcs in the Netherlands conduct research and work on innovations to improve treatments for patients with the most complex or rare disorders. Thanks to umcs, they often have insight into care. Collaboration is key in patients with complex or rare conditions. Care providers from the umcs work in multidisciplinary teams, in research networks and with other institutions in the Netherlands and Europe.

Socially Responsible Licensing Toolkit

On 27 August 2020, NFU and VSNU presented the Socially Responsible Licensing (Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Licentiëren, MVL) toolkit to the Ministry of Public Health, Welfare and Sport. The MVL-toolkit fleshes out the ‘ten principles for MVL’ that the knowledge institutions formulated in 2019 at the request of the Minister for Medical Care. The MVL-toolkit offers knowledge institutions a common basis for a discussion with market parties about the future use of patented knowledge. This can lead to a smooth and rapid conversion of academic knowledge into valuable products and services.

Valorisation

Valorisation is another core task of umcs (as are providing complex care, carrying out research and providing education). The NFU works on this in a variety of ways.

RN2Blend
