About the EMERGE Hub

The hub will primarily be a social and meeting space for students, created by students. It will also serve as a venue for various events bringing together students, staff and external community partners – with a focus on both regional and international networks.

Within the European university alliance EMERGE, all partners in Norway, Greece, France, Ireland, Spain, Germany, Slovakia and Cyprus will establish hubs as a shared focal point at each institution. This is a close collaboration facilitating increased student and staff mobility, joint degrees, research projects and civic engagement across the universities.

Location: Room 2C070, Lower Ground Floor, Main Building (the former Sinn bookshop)

Important: The event will mainly be held in Norwegian but is open for everyone!
