2031st meeting, held on 19 May 2026
Radboud Intro Admissions Policy
The Executive Board decided to amend the admission criteria for stall holders at the Intro Market.
1. Commercial companies will gain access to the Intro Market through a sponsorship contract.
2. The internal regulations will be tightened, which means that all non-commercial stall holders will be required to sign a copy of the internal regulations. Each of the non-commercial stall holders will also need to substantiate how they would contribute to the university’s mission and vision (with the exception of accredited parties and Radboud divisions). These motivations will be assessed by the Radboud Intro contractors. Any motivations that give cause for concern will be referred to the Executive Board for review.
