Julian Rengers

Hi there! My name is Julian Rengers, and I will be this year's host of the BSS Congress. I am currently a researcher at CMO STAMM, working on topics such as livelihood security, equality of opportunities and poverty. Besides that, I've been a member of Groningen-based English speaking improv comedy group Stranger Things Have Happened since 2019, playing shows both nationally and internationally. I'm enthusiastic and curiosity-driven, and I find it very important to foster a stimulating learning environment. I'm looking forward to guiding you through this year's BSS Congress, see you on May 13th!

As a compassionate host and speaker, Julian will bring his positive and dynamic personality to the Congress. We are very happy to welcome Julian as the host of the BSS Congress of 2026!
