Radboud at the Vierdaagse

Looking for a little intellectual stimulation during the Nijmegen Vierdaagse before diving back into the festivities? Radboud University will also be in town during the Vierdaagsefeesten. With interesting lectures and fun experiments, you can sharpen your mind even in the summer.

July 18: Kidslab at Mariënburgplein

Mariënburgplein will once again be transformed into a laboratory for children. On Saturday, July 18, you can participate in all kinds of experiments led by Radboud scientists. Let a robot tickle you, print your name in 3D, discover gravity, learn about language, play with loose parts and test your maths skills. There’ll also be a special XL edition of the children’s podcast ‘Professorproef’ at 4.15 pm, where children can ask scientists anything they like and can choose who they think is the best professor.

Radboud @ Stadseiland Stek Program

Every evening, you can visit Stadseiland Stek for a lecture- (in Dutch) by researchers from Radboud University on topics such as nature along the Four Days Marches route and the history of Nijmegen. In short, accessible lectures of about twenty minutes, you can listen to interesting stories from our scientists while enjoying a snack and a drink. 

From Saturday, July 18 through Wednesday, July 22, there will be a speaker from Radboud University at Stadseiland Stek every day at 5:30 PM. In addition, on Saturday, July 18, Monday, July 20, and Tuesday, July 21, from 2:15 PM to 2:45 PM, there will be a special program for children (in Dutch): during the Professorproef, kids can ask researchers all sorts of questions.

The lectures are completely free, and no registration is required. We look forward to seeing you at Stadseiland Stek!
