What is Facides Dione?


Since the 2004-2005 academic year, Facides Dione has been bursting with energy! This year is no exception, with a packed schedule full of activities that make (International) Facility Management not only broader but also much more enjoyable.

Facides Dione is the student association for (International) Facility Management at Hanze University of Applied Sciences in Groningen. The name originates from the time when the study program was called Facility Services. Facides means ‘filled/with substance,’ while Dione refers to Dionysus, the god of wine and ‘madness.’ Together, the name represents a society that combines knowledge with a great dose of fun and social interaction! With over 750 members and a long history of successful events, FaDi has become a well-known name.

In February 2025, we will celebrate our 20th anniversary with three weeks of festive activities and unforgettable moments. Want to know what we have planned? Follow our lustrum Instagram account and stay updated on everything to come!
