About the Aletta Dialogues

The Aletta Dialogues of the University of Groningen are a series of worldwide events organised in honour of Aletta Jacobs, because of her pioneering spirit, her international outlook, and strong link to our university. She was the first woman in the Netherlands to register at a university as a regular student and the first female doctor. Furthermore, she was a champion for women’s rights like birth control and voting rights. Finally, she also travelled the world (Europe, South Africa, Egypt, Middle East, India, Japan, China and Indonesia) to fight for the rights of women (esp. voting rights). During the Aletta Dialogues experts from Groningen and the hosting country or region discuss subjects on the crossroads of science and societal challenges.
