The Amsterdam metropolitan region offers a very inspiring environment for bringing together a selective group of bright young students who share their ideas, knowledge and refreshing perspectives on this wide range of challenging issues. Moreover, 2013 will be a very special year for Amsterdam as several extraordinary celebrations are foreseen, including the opening of the renovated Rijksmuseum and 400 years Canal Ring. The UvA will look for ways of combining the URC with one or more festive occasions in the context of Amsterdam 2013.

The UvA will provide the meeting venues, refreshments, a welcome reception, lunches & dinners including a gala dinner and excursions like a canal tour by boat, social and cultural activities in the old inner city of Amsterdam, and a real Amsterdam cycling experience.
