For Infinity: Petrus Driessen
The University of Groningen is celebrating its 400th anniversary from 15 May - 15 June 2014 with a festive programme on the theme For Infinity (4‡).

Someone who certainly should be remembered is Petrus Driessen.
The weekly online video magazine Unifocus highlights topics related to the University of Groningen in the fields of research and society, student life, teaching, policy and internationalization.
