Do you want to organize a one-off event and are you looking for support from Team Events? Every year there is room for four large-scale events and/or events with a big impact.
To qualify for priority status, an event must meet the following criteria:
The event...
- is VU-wide and/or serves one or more VU-wide target groups and/or serves a VU-wide strategic goal;
- has scientific and social relevance;
- expresses the VU-identity ‘science with a conscience/value-driven science for a better world’ and/or
- ties in with one of the 3 profile themes (Governance for Society, Human Health & Life Sciences, Science for Sustainability) and/or
- arises from or responds to (urgent) current events.
And meet the following conditions:
- at least 500 (international) visitors and/or
- focuses on a smaller group of impact makers (such as CEO/board members/politicians etc.) and/or
- generates press attention;
- fits within the annual event calendar;
- if your application is received when education, promotions, orations and degrees have already been scheduled, it is necessary that these do not have to deviate from this.
Does your event meet these conditions? Send an email to events@vu.nl with at least the following information: target group, objectives, subject, concept program, and expected number of visitors.
