Cleveringa meetings 2017: Will you be there?
From Amsterdam to Tokyo: on or around 26 November Cleveringa meetings will be taking place at more than 40 locations throughout the world. The meetings are organised by the Leiden University Fund (LUF) to commemorate the protest speech given by Professor Cleveringa and to foster relations with alumni and others.
Besides the lectures in the Netherlands, there will also be activities in many other countries. Many of these lectures will be in English so that international alumni can also attend.
