The University of Groningen was established four centuries ago and is situated in the North of the Netherlands, in the economic and cultural capital of the region. The city enjoys a bustling reputation, while retaining a safe community character. The University has a visible presence: the historic buildings in the inner-city tell the tale of a rich academic tradition, while the University’s outer parts offer inspiring examples of groundbreaking modern architecture. 

The University of Groningen organizes a series of summer schools, covering a wide range of fields, from philosophy to economics and from history to chemistry. All summer schools are research-driven and intend to bring bright students and excellent researchers from all over the world together to work on important topics. 

In 2014 the summer schools attracted around 400 students from 70 different nationalities. 
Many of the summer schools have invited colleagues from international partner universities and other external stakeholders to take part in the programme. This will enable participating students to access new international networks. Together they work on major societal issues, both locally and globally.
