The new academic year will kick off on Monday 2 September with the Opening Academic Year. This year's theme is 'Reasons for Hope'.
Especially in these challenging times, when uncertainty so often looms large, hope is essential. Hope is a desire for improvement on which we are willing to act. It can help people to courageously carry on, strengthen our bonds with one another and inspire us to build a positive future.
During the Opening of the Academic Year, we will look together at initiatives within VU Amsterdam that highlight this vision by using hope to drive social change.
After the formal ceremony, there will be a reception to raise a toast together and look ahead to the coming year.
It will soon be possible to register for this event.
The programme lasts from 15:30 to 16:45.
Opening Academic Year is made possible by VUvereniging
