Lecture in the pub for students of the S.G.O.R.

The ‘Talks with Students’ with S.G.O.R. (Student association for Entrepreneurship and Law) took place in the cellar of the Dog’s Bollocks in Groningen. It was the first time that we did a presentation with beer in our hands. Hopefully not the last: there was a relaxed atmosphere with a lot of interaction because of the setting.

There was a big interest: as a student you don’t learn a lot from university about how it works in practice. Luckily de Merkplaats with 15 years experience in IE-law agrees to share their experience in the ‘Talks with students’.
