About the Mulier Institute

Through rigorous, data-driven sports research, the Mulier Institute Foundation contributes to the effectiveness and efficiency of sports policy. And (as a result) to the promotion of sports, physical activity, and the strengthening of the sports sector. Our“Strategic Vision 2025–2030 ” guides our work.

We conduct research on behalf of government agencies, sports organizations, and other clients. In addition, we secure grants for in-depth research. We also receive an institutional grant from the Directorate for Sport and Physical Activity of the Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport to monitor developments in sports and conduct research to support policy-making.

At the Mulier Institute, we believe it is important for everyone to feel at home. We strive to create a work culture that is as inclusive as possible, with a focus on equality and on preventing and combating exclusion. We value diversity within the organization—including diversity in terms of ethnic and cultural background, religious and philosophical beliefs, employability, gender, and sexual orientation—and are committed to increasing it.

The Mulier Institute is based in Utrecht and has approximately 75 employees.

Scope and compensation

The Board of Trustees generally meets three times a year at our office in Utrecht. Serving on the Board of Trustees is an unpaid position. Of course, your travel expenses will be reimbursed.
