Welcome to Groningen! The Office of the Dean of Graduate Schools organizes an introductory event for new PhD students from all across the UG to get them acquainted with each other, the university and its surroundings.

The first day of this two-day event takes place at Rietland in Zuidwolde, just outside the city of Groningen. At 8:30 am, a bus will take the participants from the main train station in Groningen to Rietland. After dinner, at around 8:00 pm, the bus will take you back to Groningen. The second day takes place in Groningen. In the morning the programme will continue and the event will end with a lunch during which a few PhD organisations will introduce themselves to you. Participation is free. All new PhD students should preferably take part within the first three to six months of their project.
