On 31 August, we will celebrate the Opening of the Academic Year 2026/2027 of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. This year's theme is Free Thinkers.
Roxane van Iperen is this year's keynote speaker. Since she became known to a wide audience with titles such as 't Hooge Nest, Eigen planeet eerst and Ik zie wat ik geloof, Van Iperen has become an indispensable part of the public debate.
In addition to the keynote by Roxane van Iperen, there will be contributions from various speakers from academia and wider society. Afterwards, we will raise a glass together to a wonderful new academic year.
More information will follow soon. Mark the date in your agenda!
