This will be the third edition of the U-Bal, a Humanities Lab AVS initiative. This year’s organising committee, which features staff from the Faculty of Humanities, University Library and Amsterdam University Press, is led by Lisa Kuitert, professor of Book Studies.

Nicole Kaandorp, Master’s student doing the programme Redacteur/editor (Editing and Publishing), wrote a song (in Dutch) inspired by the Book Week theme; it also encourages everyone to participate in the open mic!
