About VLAG

VLAG Graduate School was founded in 1993 to provide a coherent PhD programme for young researchers and to bring together the expertise in its multidisciplinary domain.

VLAG forms a community of research within the Biobased, Biomolecular, Chemical, Food and Nutrition Sciences. It is a partnership between Wageningen University, Wageningen Food & Biobased Research, Wageningen Food Safety Research, NIZO food research, and the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM)

VLAG's two major tasks are:

  • to provide its PhD candidates with a research and education programme of academic excellence
  • to provide added value to its programme by funding research projects and by acquiring external funding for large-scale multidisciplinary research projects

The administrative headquarters of the graduate school is at Wageningen University & Research, where it is one of the six graduate schools at this university.
