The Meet the Makers programme facilitates meetings and conversations between students, teachers and researchers at UU, and makers – i.e., artists, curators, dramaturges, designers or other creative practitioners and professionals within the wider field of arts and culture. We usually organise a Meet the Makers event every block during the academic year, but sometimes more. If you are interested in joining a session, take a look at the programme below. You can register via the link at the top of the event.

If you have questions about the programme, please send an email to tim@uu.nl

Meet the Makers is hosted by The Creative Humanities Academy.

The Creative Humanities Academy is a platform that fosters collaboration and knowledge exchange between cultural and creative professionals and academic researchers and students.
