The Ecumenical Students' Fellowship in Groningen (GSp for short) is a student facility open to all students of Groningen University and Hanzehogeschool Groningen. The GSp is a place where the religious and philosophical interests of students are meaningfully related to contemporary developments in society and the world of science and scholarship as well as to their personal life and history.

Arnhem is a city with 16.000 students, they study at three different HBO-institutes.
The Arnhems Studentenpastoraat is (more or less) independent, it is not allied to one of the institutes of a church and there are pro's and con's to that.
Most students in Arnhem are young (18-22), the ASP wants to be a ‘home' to them wtih ‘meeting, reflection and inspiration' as keywords.

Roel Bosch
Tafelstraat 13, Ecumenical Student Chaplaincy in Maastricht. University with a lot of internationals, from all over the world. Buildings dispersed in the old cityheart, and in newer buildings at the other way of the river: ‘the Urban Campus'.
‘Tafelstraat 13' intends to offer them a living room, a place to ‘plug in & get connected'.
Programs are social and historical, with internationally orientated ecumenical services. We hope to welcome an Islamic pastor in our team Autumn 2007.
