Characteristic of our Personnel Faction - with nine members the largest faction in the university council - is the diversity of its members; scientific staff as well as support staff and Phd's working in many different Faculties and Departments. Therefore we can combine our knowledge and experience and represent all layers of our organization. There is ample opportunity for a diversity of opinions but on a common base.

Would you also like to join the next university council on behalf of the Staff Group? Want to know more or apply? Mail to pf.ur rug.nl . Although the official period for candidacy at the CSB runs from 10 to 19 March 2025, we would like to determine the list order of candidates earlier. Therefore, please let us know before 16 February if you wish to be a candidate so that you can be included in determining the list order. This will be done by drawing lots. You can always register later, but you may end up lower down the list. You can then always get into the University Council based on your number of votes, but if your own votes are (too) few, your place on the list is relevant to your chances.

The Science Faction fights for the interests of the academic community in Groningen: to reduce bureaucracy, to distribute resources more fairly, to improve working conditions, to combat power abuse, and to protect the privacy of employees. We urgently need your support to prevent our administration from irresponsibly cutting the budget for research and education and driving away our international colleagues.

Are you passionate about science and do you want to get involved? Check out our website , follow us on Bluesky and Linkedin , email us at wf.ur rug.nl and don't forget to vote for the Science Faction!
