Image We are currently experiencing a surge in interest from journalists around the world. Normally, we make a point of responding to all inquiries from international media, but right now the demand is extraordinary. As a small university, our main focus is on our educations, research and research-based teaching, and we have to prioritize our resources. We hope you will understand that in the current situation we cannot meet all requests. Please contact our communication office
