A special event to celebrate the achievements of our European colleagues, in recognition of the enormous contribution they make to the University, to Nottingham and to the UK.

Professor Shearer West, Vice-Chancellor and President, and Professor Andy Long, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, warmly invite you to join colleagues from across our institution to reflect on the many and varied personal stories of those of us that now call Nottingham home.

This event will feature the inaugural University of Nottingham European Fuddle*‡.

*fuddle [n, used mostly in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire]: either on your own, or where a group of people get together and share sweets and other foods a bit like a picnic. 

Bring in your favourite pudding, cake or dessert for people to try, as we celebrate the cultural diversity that our European staff bring via the medium of something quintessentially University of Nottingham: the fuddle*‡.

The University will also be providing European-inspired food and drink for the evening, which will cater for specific dietary requirements.

Please note, the University cannot guarantee the ingredients and origin of any of the Fuddle food; all such foods may contain allergens; please only bring food that can be safely stored at room temperature.

This event takes place 5-7pm, Tuesday 19 March 2019: Senate Chamber, Trent Building, University Park Campus.

Registration is required: please RSVP via EventBrite. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
