The Utrecht Network is celebrating its 30th Anniversary during 2017. 

To mark the occasion a Rectors meeting was held in Hull on Wednesday 26 April 2017 with the theme of ‘Global citizenship and employability in an interconnected world’.

The focus of the Rectors meeting was the work that member universities and the Utrecht Network are doing to equip students and researchers for today’s rapidly changing environment. 

The meeting also discussed how member universities engage with civil society. 

During the Rectors meeting the 2017 Utrecht Network Award was presented to Patricia De Clopper from the University of Antwerp, in recognition of her dedication and commitment to the Network over the past thirty years.
