The award is an annual initiative of the National Educational Research Organisation (NRO) on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport. The grant is intended as a great token of appreciation for teaching teams that have improved or developed a teaching initiative. It is also intended as an incentive for teachers to continue with educational innovation and knowledge sharing.

With the educational initiative Placemaking, students contribute to a sustainable relationship between the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and the city. Almost 500 students have now participated in the course, spread across three UvA locations (Science Park, Roeterseiland Campus and Universiteitskwartier). In this way, students contribute to the place where they study.
