Sign up for the College Tour with the Minister of Education, Culture and Science

During the upcoming College Tour, students and staff from knowledge institutions in the Northern Netherlands will have the opportunity to see the Minister of Education, Culture and Science prof. dr. Rianne Letschert up close.

A College Tour featuring the Minister will take place at NHL Stenden on 31 August 2026, from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. During this interactive programme, the Minister will engage in conversation with students and staff about the future of higher education, research, and knowledge in the Netherlands.

Buses will be arranged for participants traveling from Groningen to take them to NHL Stenden and back to Groningen afterwards. The buses will depart from Ossenmarkt at 8.30 a.m. and return from Leeuwarden at 11.30 a.m.

Would you like to see the Minister in action early in her term? And do you perhaps have a pressing question you would like to ask her?

You can also indicate whether you wish to use the bus transport from Groningen and whether you have a question you would like to ask the Minister. The program will be conducted in Dutch.

Registration is open until 31 July.
We look forward to seeing you, and the Minister, at the opening of the new academic year!
