Who we are

Faculty Campus Fryslân is the hub of the University of Groningen, located in the province of Fryslân, with a profile centered on societies in transition.

We focus on the major transitions shaping our world, from climate crisis and circular economy to digitalisation, wellbeing, and governance. These transitions are complex, interconnected, and long-term, demanding new ways of understanding and guiding change.

What sets Campus Fryslân apart is our integrated approach. We bring together disciplines, perspectives, and partners to understand not only what is changing, but also how transitions unfold and how they can be directed towards sustainable, equitable, and resilient futures.

Part of the University of Groningen and firmly embedded in Fryslân, we connect academic knowledge with strong regional engagement, linking global challenges to local contexts, and turning knowledge into meaningful action through education, research, and regional engagement.
