Meet & Match | Community Service Learning 7 May 2026 12:30 - 15:00

Share
Educating global citizens takes more than a classroom. It takes collaboration between universities and the communities they're part of. The Meet & Match event is where VU lecturers and societal actors meet, connect, and start building that together.

Every year, the Meet & Match event by Community Service Learning (CSL) brings together lecturers and community partners, to connect and collaborate on impactful projects. 

Community Service Learning (CSL) connects students to real challenges in the world around them, while giving organisations access to the knowledge and energy of the university. This event is a chance to explore what that could look like for you.

What to expect?

  • Speed dating sessions to meet potential collaboration partners
  • Stories from lecturers and community partners already working together through CSL
  • Space to explore ideas and find out where your work might connect
  • An informal setting where conversations can go somewhere
  • A vegetarian or vegan lunch on the side!
  • An information market with courses and projects to inspire you

Whether you're a lecturer thinking about how to bring real world issues into your teaching, or a community partner curious about what collaboration with VU could offer, you're welcome here.

At VU Amsterdam, educating global citizens means building connections between the university and the world it's part of. Meet & Match is one way we do that, one conversation at a time.

Are you interested? And do you want to connect, exchange knowledge and explore opportunities for collaboration? Take part in the event! 

Where will the afternoon be held?

The Meet & Match takes place in room 01-E24 the 01-E wing of the VU main building. It can be a little tricky to find, so here's how to get there: enter through the main front entrance, head up to the first floor, and follow the signs for the E wing past the elevators. We'll be at the end of the hallway on the right. Someone will be there to let you in, and once inside you can follow the signs.

Learn more about CSL on our pages for societal actors and for VU lecturers.
