U.S.S.V. Softijs wins Gouden Voorzet and organised amusing karaoke crawl at the Utrecht Science Park
Last year, U.S.S.V. Softijs was the winner of the Gouden Voorzet, a subsidy paid annually to a student sports association by the Sportraad and Utrecht Science Park Foundation. The board used the grant to purchase a brand new music box, which they can put to good use during training sessions. To strengthen the Utrecht Science Park community and livability, a playful action is always linked to this as well. This time, this took the form of a Karaoke Crawl in the science cafés at the Utrecht Science Park.
At the HideOut and the Proeflokaal, the party was on Monday evening, 16 December. Softijs members gathered at the HideOut for the start of the karaoke. Then the journey continued to the Proeflokaal where everyone tried hard to sing the stars from the sky there as well. Even during a busy period with exams and deadlines, it is good to take a break. It was a successful evening with a lot of fun and where connection was made.

Relocating a Rainforest: Behind the Scenes at the Botanic Gardens
The Tropical greenhouses at the Utrecht University Botanic Gardens are among its most beloved attractions. But after decades of service, they are ready for retirement and the decision has been made to replace them. Replacing the Greenhouses is far more complex than tearing down glass and steel. It means temporarily relocating, and later returning, thousands of living plants. How do you even begin to move a rainforest?
