Campus Fryslân (Campus Frisian) is a faculty of the University of Groningen located in the Dutch city of Leeuwarden. The faculty focuses on the multidisciplinary study of scientific issues related to social and economic themes that have been identified as relevant to the Frisian region.

History
Campus Fryslân is located in the former Beurs and Waag, or stock exchange in English, building on the Wirdumerdijk. The library was located there since the 70’s and moved into the Blokhuispoort in 2019. In June 2016 the building was designated as the new headquarters for the Campus Fryslân faculty, and in November 2017 the RUG and the municipality signed the transfer of ownership of the building. The design for the renovation plans is by J.O.N.G architects.

The front of the building bears the English-language name University of Groningen Campus Fryslân. On September 13th, 2018, more than two hundred years after the closure of the University of Franeker, university education has returned to Friesland. .

Incidentally, an earlier initiative precedes this campus. In 1976, using the same location, a Sub-faculty of Social Sciences in Leeuwarden (SSWL) was also established by the University of Groningen (RUG) with five professors and a dozen lecturers as staff. This university program functioned until 1985 and graduated several dozen students with doctoral degrees. As part of the massive budget cuts in the 1980s, the RUG surrendered this program and the students were transferred to faculties in Groningen. After thirty years, this new university initiative is therefore the second since the discontinuation of Franeker University. The official opening of Campus Fryslân in the Beurs took place on October 31, 2019.

Campus Fryslân consists of three components: a University College, a Master College and a Graduate School.

University College Fryslân
In 2018, the University College Fryslân (UCF), which offers the broad BSc Global Responsibility & Leadership (GRL), was launched. The training program is inspired by the Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations. The GRL program consists of inputs from human and social sciences, natural sciences and information technology. The combination of different disciplines gives you a unique and important perspective on the interaction of people, planet and profit that is present in the rapidly changing society within which we live.

Research
The PhD programs of Campus Fryslân fall under the Graduate School. The research activities of the academic staff fall under the Research Institute. The research is concentrated on the themes “Health & Food”, “Sustainable Economy”, “Culture, Language & Technology” and “Governance”.

Organisation
At the beginning of October 2018, former Dean Prof. Dr. Jouke de Vries accepted the position of Chairman of the Executive Board of the University of Groningen, making him president of the university. Prof. Dr. Andrej Zwitter succeeded Jouke de Vries as Dean of Campus Fryslân. In addition to research and education, the Academic Climate in Friesland is a theme for which Campus Fryslân is committed. This is done by organising public events such as a Science Café,which is an approachable event where two scientists speak about their fascination for a particular theme. Museum University lectures and a participation in Studium Generale Leeuwarden.
