A year of fresh perspectives: our 2025–2026 annual report
What a year! For me personally, but certainly for Studium Generale (SG) as well. After 12.5 years at the Philips Museum, I embarked on a new adventure at SG last year. A new environment, new colleagues, and a whole world of topics to explore. And now, a year later, I can honestly say: I feel right at home here at TU/e.
What I love about Studium Generale is how closely connected we are to what's happening in the world. We keep an eye on current events and the issues that matter to students. From major societal challenges to fresh and unexpected perspectives. Through our program, we aim to spark curiosity, get conversations started, and encourage people to look beyond their own fields of study.
In our 2025–2026 Annual Report, we look back at everything we've organized and accomplished over the past academic year. It's a colorful collection of encounters, ideas, and memorable moments. I'd love for you to take a look: CHECK IT OUT HERE.
Looking back on my first year at SG brings a big smile to my face. And I'm just as excited about what's ahead. There's still so much to discover, and I can't wait!
