Family Day at the Apenheul Primate Park.
A day before the World Animal Day, the University of Groningen organizes a day for the whole family at the Apenheul Primate Park.
Two great researchers of the university will give lectures (in Dutch) throughout the park. These scientists are connected to the Groningen Institute for Evolutionary Life Sciences. This research institute investigates throughout different disciplines (ecological, evolutionary and biological studies) the adaptive potential of life.

About the Ubbo Emmius Fund
The University of Groningen set up
the Ubbo Emmius Fund (UEF)
in 1996 to coordinate its fundraising activities. The Fund, named after the first Rector Magnificus of the University, seeks support for special research and education projects.
With the help of for example call campaigns, alumni chapters and crowdfunding the UEF raised last year a total of €3,7 million in donations (gifts and commitments for the coming years). With this support our Alma Mater was able to procure scholarships for talented students in developing countries, appoint researchers and purchase equipment.
