Events

During each academic block, we organize several events for our community members. If you want to join an event you need to sign up beforehand, so we know how many people to expect and can avoid food wastage when we have catered events.
Do you want to be invited to upcoming events? Please sign up through this form.
Find out which events we are organizing below. We will regularly add new ones, so this list is not exhaustive.
