Information Market
The Information Market will be held on Tuesday, 2 September 2025 from 10:00-16:00 in the main hallway of the Energy Academy. It offers an opportunity for you to get all the information that you may need to start your journey here at the FSE outside the standard information regarding your programme.
Several organisations will be present at the market, ranging from university departments to external organisations offering their services and help to (international) students. There will be poffertjes and a barista available outside the venue throughout the day. Take 30 minutes out of your day and don't miss out on what is on offer!
FSE Camping
From Monday 1 September to Wednesday 3 September there will be an FSE Camping next to the entrance of the Energy Academy. There is no actual overnight camping, but various FSE study associations will be present to welcome you to the Faculty. They will also organize several fun activities. Be sure to stop by!
Escape Game
We need your help solving a big problem! Prof. Ben Feringa, a professor at our faculty, won a Nobel Prize for his work on the development of molecular machines. But the Prize is missing! Can your mentor group find it in time?
The game will take approximately one hour, including instructions and playing time. It has been developed as a teambuilding activity for your mentor group. Your mentor will tell you when you will participate in the game.
The door will not be locked, and the environment will be that of a regular education setting in terms of lighting and sound. The puzzles are varied and require the use of different senses. Some require you to stand and move around, for others you can stay seated if you like. You can choose which puzzles you participate in. If you need to take a break during the game, that’s possible.
If you have concerns about participating in the FSE Escape Game, you can contact your academic advisor or let your mentor know.
