The traditional Majáles spring festival is organised by the Student Union. At the Faculty of Arts, there is a cycle of lectures featuring interesting personalities from all walks of life, and exhibitions of art and photography are put on in the Top Floor gallery. The Faculty of Science is closely involved in a range of events bringing science to a wide general public, including the regular Chemistry at the Castle festival. The Faculty of Fine Arts holds regular exhibitions in its own Student gallery.
In addition, a range of competitions takes place at the individual faculties.

Famous quotes containing the word events:
“It is the true office of history to represent the events themselves, together with the counsels, and to leave the observations and conclusions thereupon to the liberty and faculty of every man’s judgement.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“When the world was half a thousand years younger all events had much sharper outlines than now. The distance between sadness and joy, between good and bad fortune, seemed to be much greater than for us; every experience had that degree of directness and absoluteness which joy and sadness still have in the mind of a child”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“The prime lesson the social sciences can learn from the natural sciences is just this: that it is necessary to press on to find the positive conditions under which desired events take place, and that these can be just as scientifically investigated as can instances of negative correlation. This problem is beyond relativity.”
—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)
