Photos and video Night of Arts and Science

The UG started its 405th anniversary celebrations on Wednesday with the festive opening of the recently reorganized University Museum. It was a small festival, at which some two hundred and fifty guests admired the fabulous new anniversary exhibition entitled ‘Dead Zoo’, and another two rooms with new presentations. Visitors were also treated to ice-cream, coffee and a DJ.

For a number of shows that first had the label 'Sold out', extra tickets are available from now on!

The scientific journal the New Scientist provides attention to UG’s anniversary 'All Inclusive' with a special edition called ‘Diversity Matters’.

The University of Groningen turns 405 this year! We believe that, even at this age, you are never too old to make new resolutions.

Our lustrum teaser...

The University of Groningen lustrum organization is looking for artists to create art pieces of various kind, and art installations made out of old promotional material from the University of Groningen.

In an attempt to make the topic of the 405th lustrum clearer, we want to start the conversation to understand what inclusivity is!

Without volunteers, it would be impossible to organize the UG anniversary celebrations.

Are you looking to be actively involved in the organization of this festive week? This is your chance! By registering as a volunteer, you get to gain experience in a fun team and work on various events in the city.

Broerstraat 5 is the alumni magazine of the University of Groningen. The April issue is completely devoted to the All Inclusive theme of the lustrum.

From Wednesday 5 through Saturday 15 June, Groningen will celebrate the 405th birthday of its university. There will be a compact but varied programme under the theme All Inclusive, with interesting activities and events for everyone.
For all events, tickets sales are now open!
