Events Tilburg Young Academy
An overview of our latest events and the upcoming ones.
Delighted to share the success of our recent social event, Tilburg Young Academy meets Internationals, which took place on the 27th February!
TYA members, fellow colleagues and university council members enjoyed spending great time socialising and discussing the important topic of internationalisation in the university. Interesting and very insightful questions and suggestions have been raised which could hopefully serve as a good basis for the university policy in the field in the future.
Warm thanks to everyone who showed up and became involved in this beautiful event! We hope that you left more informed and loaded with hope and optimism about the internationalisation in our university.
Tilburg Young Academy will remain concerned about the unfolding of the situation at the university and nation-wide level and is open to discussions about it!
