The world as lecture hall

31 October 2012

After a few years of experimenting(http://www.rug.nl/sterrenkunde/nieuws/osaka-lecture-mendez), the University of Groningen now has a permanent and modern facility for video lectures. Students in various locations across the globe can listen to lectures together with Groningen students, live and interactively. The new facility was inaugurated with a joint lecture for students at Osaka University and Groningen students of the Nanoscience Top Master’s degree programme.

The weekly online video magazine Unifocus highlights topics related to the University of Groningen in the fields of research and society, student life, teaching, policy and internationalization.
