Groningen Together 2020

When:Th 24-09-2020 10:00 - 17:00
Where:online

On Thursday, 24th of September the University organised ‘Groningen Together’, an online event with information sessions for students on participation in governing bodies at the university.

It is important that your voice is heard, but how can you get involved? And once a member of a committee, council or board, how does this work? What rights and duties do you have? How does the UG financial structure work? And how do you reach your fellow students with your message? These and other interesting topics were addressed on ‘Groningen Together’.

For whom: University council, Faculty councils, Programme committees and student/study associations and students and staff interested in learning more about co-goverance at UG.
