Following the student protests of 1969, a democratic system of governance was introduced at Dutch universities. In 1971 the Leiden University Council was launched. The 50th anniversary of the Council is the occasion for this meeting.
During the celebration, the University Council and the Executive Board will look back on 50 years of student and staff participation and draw lessons for the future
