Deleting and Migrating your Account
VU Amsterdam advises researchers to no longer start new projects in OSF. The project functionality will cease to work as of 19 February 2027. Any projects expected to be active at that time will have to move to alternative tools in order to keep sharing research documents with colleagues.
The OSF pre-registration and pre-print functionality will remain unchanged.
For further information, contact: osfadmin@vu.nl
Retaining access to your data when leaving VU Amsterdam
If you want to retain access to your OSF Projects after leaving VU Amsterdam, you can create a new OSF account with a personal email address and merge it with your institutional account (see the OSF Guide). Make sure to do this before your VUnetID expires.
If your VUnetID has already expired, you can still create a new OSF account and ask a Project Admin to re-add you to your Projects.
If your VUnetID has expired and you are the only Project Admin please contact OSF Support.
Deleting your account
You can deactivate or delete your OSF account at any time. To permanently delete your account and personal data, please contact OSF Support.
