The aim of the GUF is to promote in the widest sense the study at the Groningen University.
As means to achieve this aim the Fund sustains among others the following activities:

• subsidizing student excursions (accompanied by staff members)
• subsidizing scientific or cultural activities by students within the framework of a student organization
• subsidizing the organisation in Groningen or the northern Netherlands of international scientific conferences, symposia or workshops by scientists of the Groningen University
• facilitate the establishment of specialized expert chairs (“bijzondere leerstoelen”) at the Groningen University
