Introductory Event

Welcome to Groningen! The Office of the Dean of Graduate Schools organizes an introductory event for new PhD students from all across the UG to get them acquainted with each other, the university and its surroundings.

The first day of this two-day event takes place at Rietland in Zuidwolde, on the outskirts of the city of Groningen. At 8:30am, a bus will take the participants from the central train station in Groningen to Rietland. After dinner at around 8pm, the bus will return you to Groningen. The second day takes place in Groningen. In the morning we will continue the central part of the programme at either the Van Swinderen Huys (Boteringestraat 19) or one of the locations of the Norman Building. Participation is free and will earn you 1 ECTS.

All new PhD students should take part within the first three months of their project.
