Welcome! The introduction programme of the UG for newcomers
The Board of the University considers it important for newcomers to the University of Groningen to not only become acquainted with their direct working or learning environment but also to get to know the University as a whole. Therefore, four times per year, the University organizes a Welcome! meeting for new staff members and scholarship students in the form of an informal breakfast meeting during which a few presentations will be held including a word of welcome by the president of the Board of the University, professor Jouke de Vries.

Here you can find more information on the programme and how to register.
