For Infinity: Petrus Driessen

26 February 2014

The University of Groningen is celebrating its 400th anniversary from 15 May - 15 June 2014 with a festive programme on the theme For Infinity (4‡). What is it that makes the University what it is today: a teaching and research institution of stature? Which people, ideas and events in the past played a role? Someone who certainly should be remembered is Petrus Driessen.

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.
