It'll be a week full of workshops, lectures and other fun activities, not just for alumni but for students and staff as well. Why not join us and get inspired for your own future?

What's on the programme?

From 12 to 18 October, you can hear about the cutting edge science from our top researchers. There will also be film screenings, documentaries, theatre and stand-up comedy to inspire you.

Here's a small selection from the programme:

Theatre with Harpert Michielsen: Why Spinoza?

Monday, 14 October, 19:00-21:30, University Theatre

In 'Why Spinoza?' Harpert Michielsen brings you a thought-provoking and illuminating performance, balancing seriousness with satire, to tell the story of one of the world’s foremost philosophers. Traversing the canals and alleyways of Amsterdam, one is frequently reminded of his ubiquitous influence: from streets to statues, lyceums to lecture halls, all named in his honour. What do we know about him? What shaped his philosophy? Why do his ideas resonate today?

Global career journeys: insights from UvA alumni

Tuesday, 15 October, 19:00 - 21:00

Are you curious about the career paths of UvA alumni who have made their mark in international organisations? Join us for an engaging and insightful evening where alumni from various sectors will share their career journeys, challenges and tips for success. Gain firsthand knowledge from those who have navigated the professional landscape after graduating from the UvA.
