Image and video

Images make communication more powerful. In addition to adding emotion, they can support the explanation of complex subject matter while making a story easier to remember. This is why images play such an important part in our communications.

When working with images, always bear the UG’s branding in mind. The guidelines in the UG Image plan can help you to reinforce the University of Groningen's story.
