USG lustrum: 25 Years
The Utrecht University School of Governance (USG) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2025 with a series of activities. The theme for this special year was: 'Reizen met USBO' (Travelling with USG). Where did the trip go to?
In the first months of the year, we organised small-scale activities, including an auction for charity, a storytelling afternoon and evening for staff and alumni. And the USG film series Science & Fiction was also in line with the theme of the anniversary.
In September, there was a complete week of celebrations, including an inspiring conference with social 'travel companions' and a dance party with employees and alumni.
The fact that the Public Administration and Organisation Science (PAOS) education programme started in September 2000 was celebrated with an conference on Wednesday 12 November.
Finally, on Thursday 18 December, we presented the book Besturen en Organiseren in de Bijlhouwerstraat. Verhalen over 25 jaar USBO (a book with stories on 25 years of USG) and concluded the festive year with a Christmas dinner for employees.
