The University of Amsterdam’s commitment to offer alternatives needs to be prioritized again. With this open letter we call upon you to pursue a course towards strategic independence and offering alternatives, thereby reducing this heavy reliance on services from a handful of very large, non-European companies and contributing to greater technological self-determination, resilience and public innovation for and with universities across Europe."
