The annual department uitje is a wonderful tradition; a one-day trip to explore the countryside around Groningen. This year’s destination: Schiermonnikoog! A day at the beach, but as you can see… academic discussions never stop! 🌊📚

It was great to have Judge Damjan Kukovec of the General Court at the CJEU as a guest in our European Judicial Protection class. Thought-provoking, candid, and inspiring — we are grateful for his visit and the rich discussion on the rule of law, judicial decision making and more! @rug.nl

And it was nice to see so many students joining this discussion! #fullhouse

🚀 We are beyond excited to welcome Advocate General Dr. Tamara Ćapeta, Prof. Jan Klabbers & Dr. Tamás Molnár in Groningen today! If you are in 🇳🇱, hop on the next train and join us for critical debates on 'EU International Agreements from the Perspectives of EU and International Law'!

🎅✨ Sinterklaas Celebration! 🎁

Our department came together for a festive Sinterklaas Dinner— a wonderful evening of reflection and connection. 🎄

Here's to more lively discussions, inspiring ideas, and fruitful collaboration in the year ahead!

Today, we celebrated the PhD defense of Christian Thorning, welcoming ‘highly learned opponents’ from @grahambutler.bsky.social Ulla Neergard and others.

Congrats to the new doctor! Proposition no. 7 will definitely be worth considering for the next writing crisis!
