Research & Academic Fair
The Research & Academic Fair offers participants a unique chance to explore research and academic opportunities in Groningen. Held during lunch on Wednesday, 4th of June, this event differs from traditional career fairs by featuring research institutions and master’s educational programmes rather than just companies.
Participants will have the chance to engage with representatives from esteemed institutions such as the Graduate School of Medical Sciences (GSMS) and the Biomedical Sciences master’s programme (BMS). This setting offers a unique platform to gain insights into the research landscape of Groningen and explore the various educational opportunities available, such as master’s or PhD programmes.
During the Research & Academic Fair, participants can ask any questions they might have. They can inquire about the nature of research projects, potential areas for specialisation, and opportunities for professional growth within the academic community in Groningen. By understanding the mission and objectives of these institutions, participants can better align their academic aspirations with the offerings of each programme.
