Science comes to life during the Weekend van de Wetenschap at the Utrecht Science Park
On Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 October, leading organisations will open their doors for everyone during the Weekend van de Wetenschap (Weekend of Science), which takes place as part of the Utrecht Science Week. Visitors will get a unique look behind the scenes at, among others, HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht, Utrecht University, the Wilhelmina Children's Hospital (WKZ) and the Princess Máxima Center.
During this national science weekend, visitors can learn about the world of research, technology and innovation in an accessible and interactive way. From doing experiments in a real laboratory to building your own robots or discovering how paediatricians and researchers work together on groundbreaking therapies. There is something for everyone.
With lectures, workshops, demonstrations and guided tours, the participating institutions will bring science closer than ever. Children, families, students and curious adults can experience for themselves how science contributes to a healthy, sustainable society.
Access to the Weekend van de Wetenschap is free of charge, but registration is required for some activities. The programme will be announced soon via the websites of the participating organisations and Utrecht Science Week. Keep an eye on the channels.
