UG at Liberation Day Festival 2026: Step into our classroom

Between performances, the Liberation Day Festival also offers space for something different: exploration, new insights, and the joy of learning. Because this festival is more than just music, it is also a moment to reflect on what freedom means.

The RUG will also be present at the festival grounds in Stadspark on May 5. No long lectures, no complicated jargon but easy to follow mini-lectures by researchers from the University of Groningen. In just a few minutes, they will take you through surprising insights on one central theme: freedom.

You are also invited to enjoy some popcorn during our short film program. Or to take part in a real scientific speech experiment in our mobile SpeechLab!
