Provisional programme: the last VIS Live! Event

For whom: anyone involved in or considering a VIS project  
Where: Groningen
When: Thursday November 13, 2025

It is always a pleasure to welcome so many enthusiastic and committed participants from VIS projects to the VIS Live Event. The last edition of this Live Event will take place on Thursday afternoon, November 13, 2025, in Groningen. 

In recent years, VIS Live! has developed into the meeting place and knowledge exchange platform for everyone in the Netherlands involved in Virtual International Collaboration activities. During this final event, we want to celebrate the successes of the past years and focus on the structural embedding and continuation of virtual international collaboration in institutions.

We particularly want to highlight examples of successful embedding at course, programme or institutional level.
