About the Faculty of Science
The Faculty of Science is a faculty at Radboud University in Nijmegen. The Faculty's mission is to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge through outstanding education and ground-breaking research.
Science with impact
The Faculty of Science strives to push the boundaries of scientific knowledge. This means cutting-edge research and outstanding education. In doing so, we take our responsibility as a key actor in helping to find solutions for major societal and scientific challenges.
Participational bodies
The board is supported in their decision-making by various committees and participational bodies.
Participational bodies of the faculty consist of: the Representative Council and the Faculty Student Council. Together, they form the Faculty Joint Assembly and they represent the interests of staff and students and contribute to general and strategic policy.
Also, there is participation per study programme in the form of programme committees and institute assessors.
Gender, Diversity and Inclusion
The faculty is convinced that diverse teams achieve better, and that the diversity of our students and staff contributes to the quality of our academic community. The Gender, Diversity and Inclusion committee (GenDi) strives to make the faculty a good place for everyone where diverse talents are welcome and appreciated.
Art committee
The central hall on the ground floor of the Huygens Building is an excellent venue for exhibiting paintings, drawings, photographs and small works of art.
The faculty's Art Committee organises rotating exhibitions that can be enjoyed and drawn inspiration from between lectures, experiments, administrative work, meetings or other activities.
