About us

GOSSA is the study association of the MSc Governance of Sustainability at Leiden University in The Hague. A group of ambitious GofS students founded the study association in autumn 2020 with the goal to bring the group of Governance of Sustainability students closer together through social, academic, and career events. 

The purpose of GOSSA is to: 

• Create a community among the Master's programme and integrate year groups

• Compliment the academic learning goals of the programme through talks and excursions 

• Prepare for life after GofS through skills building and networking events

• Foster connection between GofS alumni and current Master's students

• Organise social events and gatherings to interact with peers and build lasting connections

Introducing our board for the 2023-24 academic year! We are very eager to build on the efforts and ideas of previous boards as well as implement new ideas and traditions. Our goal as a board is to give our members the space to develop themselves both proffessionally and personally. We are looking forward to arranging exciting activities to (re)discover The Hague and the Netherlands and to creating a close-knit GofS community.
