Just a few more days until the #Radboud100 celebrations

9 May: Radboud Kids

During science festival Radboud Kids, primary school pupils from various schools in Nijmegen will visit city island Veur-Lent. Researchers take the pupils into the world of their (Island-related) research through fun and educational activities. In an interactive and accessible way, they come into contact with the diverse research of the various faculties. Who is participating with which research can be found on the website. Want to know more about the idea behind Radboud Kids and what else the Wetenschapsknooppunt organises? Then read this Radboud Recharge story (in Dutch).

9 May: Honorary doctorate and lecture Michael Sandel

Michael Sandel, political philosopher at Harvard University, will receive an honorary doctorate from Radboud University on 9 May, followed by a lecture in De Vereeniging. There are still some tickets left: read more and register. Because of the 100th anniversary, we are awarding 6 more honorary doctorates - one for each faculty - in October.

11 May: Radboud Festival

On Thursday 11 May, together with all students, alumni, (former) staff and neighbours, we will celebrate Radboud University's 100th anniversary by transforming the campus into one big festival area. Artists and speakers include: Rutger Bregman & Lema Salah, CH!PZ, Nona, The Vices, Mandy Woelkens & Rebecca de Leeuw, Goldkimono, Sinan Can & Parweez Koehestanie, and The Vices.

12 May: Radboud Sounds

If you could turn the stars into sound, what would it sound like? Can music increase your pain threshold? How can music fool your ears? And why is it so important to let loose on music together? Listen, dance, enjoy and hear music as you have never experienced it before. We conclude this festive week with Radboud Sounds, the science of music. Poppodium Doornroosje will be filled with inspiring lectures and talks by our own researchers, complemented by music by Sophie Straat, DJ Joost van Bellen and YIN YIN, among others.
