In a world full of complex challenges, connection is more important than ever. During this festive opening, we will show how academic education not only provides students with knowledge, but also teaches them to make a difference - in the city, in the Netherlands and worldwide. You are cordially invited to attend the opening on Monday, 1 September in the Aula of the University of Amsterdam.
