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.
We are always looking for input from those in our Incluusion Community, so if you have an idea for an event, please reach out to us at incluusion-community@uu.nl.
Block 4 - 2025/2026
Description:
We organize a speed-friending event at the start of each block. This event is only meant for the buddies and the Incluusion students who signed up for Buddy Support.
During this event we will shortly share some information about Buddy Support. But more importantly, you will get a chance to meet each other for the first time. This is a great informal way to get to know each other, and to get a feel for our events.
At the end of the event, you can tell us if you have any preferences about who you want to be matched with, so we can take this into account.
Join us for snacks, drinks, and a get-to-know-you activity!
