Interested in cooperating with Clio?


Some background information

Clio, founded in 1988, is the Study Association for all students of International Relations and International Organization (IRIO). This English-taught programme approaches issues in the field of International Relations from a historical, political, economic and legal perspective, with additional training in a modern foreign language. The Bachelor's degree in International Relations and International Organization is a quota study (numerus fixus), meaning that only a limited number of students are accepted. Clio also represents the students that do a Master's in IR. They can decide to explore different areas of International Relations or specialize in for example International Security or European Politics in a Global Perspective. With over 1000 members, Clio is the biggest study association of a Dutch Faculty of Arts and one of the biggest study associations in Groningen. 

What can Clio do for your company?

Clio offers various opportunities to promote your company to IRIO students, such as online advertisements on our website or Facebook or promotion during an event. These opportunities often include a small and negotiable fee. This money goes directly to Clio and its committees to make sure all kinds of events are organized for IRIO students. Please contact our Commissioner Corporate Relations Casper van der Horst via clio.bedrijfscontacten@gmail.com or connect with him via LinkedIn if you want to cooperate with Clio. For more information, you can also check out the cooperation possibilities below!


Cooperation Possibilities


Exposure on Clio's website (1 year)


Advertising in Clio's newsletter

Every week a newsletter is sent to all Clio members. Unlike other organizations, the Clio newsletter is read a lot as it contains detailed information about the activities of the week in question. It is possible to place a big advertisement in this newsletter of 150-200 words including a logo, or a small advertisement of 3-4 sentences in the 'Flash News' section.


Advertising on Clio' social media


Direct mailing

A direct email sent to the complete Clio database (>1000 members). You can decide about the content of the email and the email will only contain information about your company. The length of the email is for you to decide, and can contain links, photos, and logos in addition to text.  


On-Site advertisement

You have the possibility to sponsor different events and promote your company on the spot. Your company will also be mentioned in the promotion of these events, which is done through the website, the newsletter, posters, and Clio's Facebook. Examples of events are the Clio Conference (150-180 participants), the Clio trip (40 participants), and the various Clio excursions (40-50 participants).
