Fundraising

The Ubbo Emmius Fund was established by the RUG to improve relations between the university and society and to raise funds for special university initiatives for which no regular funding is available.

The Eric Bleumink Fund was established to extend existing alliances with universities in Third World countries. The Fund provides scholarships to talented students and young researchers from Third World countries. The funds come from different sources, including RUG alumni, students, personnel and business contacts.

The Groningen University Fund aims to promote studying at the RUG and everything that may help the university’s prosperity. The Fund is financed by benefactors and has an income from testamentary dispositions and legacies.

The Representation Fund supports and develops initiatives that improve the university’s national and international reputation and respectability.
