We kindly invite you to the opening ceremony for the Academic Year 2018-2019 on Monday, 3 September 2018, from 4 pm to 5 pm.
This year, the opening ceremony will be a little different: without the academic protocol you are used to. Instead, we will focus on the academic year that lies ahead.
Rector magnificus Frank Baaijens will introduce our strategic plan for 2030, president of the Executive Board Jan Mengelers will address some important political issues and former EU Commissioner Robert-Jan Smits will speak about issues relevant to universities and higher education in Europe. Where are we heading in 2030? How can we meet the market’s demand for more engineers while maintaining a high quality of education? What is our vision on open access for science?
Location: Auditorium, TU/e
