KEI-board

 

The Executive Board  is a team of 7 people that works full time for a year to organise the KEI-week. This year, the team is active from the 1st of September to the 30th of September. This year is jam-packed and greatly needed in order to organise a 5-day event with 5000 first years and 1000 other students. In the year, you get to know; all the ins and outs of Groningen and its organisations; you work together with an enthusiastic and motivated team; you come into contact with lots of large companies; you are closely in contact with the university and the university of applied sciences in Groningen; and best of all, you give 5000 students an unforgettable introduction to their life to their student career!

Every year there is a new Executive Board, which means the KEI-week stays dynamic and each Board gets their chance to make the KEI-week their own. Each year has a new theme, a new feel to it, and events which reflex the change in the students organising this week. As the Executive Board, this year represents an opportunity to let your creativity, your ambitions and your enthusiasm run wild!

In order to organise a fantastic KEI-week, the Board needs to invent and organise events, get sponsors on board and recruit hundreds of volunteers. Next to this, they need to get as many KEI-participants as possible to join, and keep in contact with student associations and other organisations with an interest in students.

The following people are part of the Executive Board:

Chairman Lars Eltingh
Secretary Eva Kraaijeveld
Treasurer Michelle van de Graaf
Commercial Relations Eline de Flines
Recruitment and Promotion Rinske Heuker
Events I Jeanne Borst
Events II Eva van der Hulst

Frequently asked questions for KEI-lopers

What does ‘KEI’ stand for?

KEI stands for “Kommissie Eerstejaars Introduktie” , which can be translated as “The commission for the introduction of first-year students”. The KEI-week is the general introduction week for all incoming higher education students, both at the University of Groningen and the Hanze University of Applied Sciences. The KEI-week is the oldest, largest and cheapest introduction week in the Netherlands.

When does the KEI-week takes place?

The KEI-week 2021 takes place from 16th until the 20th of August!

Who can sign up for the KEI-week?

The KEI-week is organized for all first year students of the University of Groningen, Hanze University of Applied Sciences, Obstetric Academy Amsterdam Groningen, Stenden University of Applied Sciences and HBO-NL. Pre-Master and Master students are also more than welcome!

Can I receive a refund if I have paid but choose not to attend the KEI-week?

It is not possible to claim a refund for any previously paid for ‘articles’ such as a ticket for the KEI-week. We advise you to wait with your registration until you are accepted at the university/school. We don’t have a maximum of participants for the KEI-week, so you can always sign up online for the KEI-week until the 14th of August.

What is the deadline for registration?

The (online) registrations will be open until Friday the 14th of August. To be sure of a placement in a KEI-group we advice you to register before the Friday before the KEI-week, 14th of August 18:00.

Can you join the same KEI-group as a friend?

Yes, it is possible to join a KEI-group with one friend. Mention this in the registration form and you will be placed in the same KEI-group. We can only match you if you give the right e-mail adres. You can only join a KEI-group with one friend. It is not possible to join with three or more people.
