Last Saturday, 5 October, Nikhef opened its doors during the Amsterdam Science Park Science Day (formerly: Open Day). It was the first time in the recently reopened building and the new atmosphere was quite popular with visitors. There were many popular and annually recurring activities such as the particle hunt for children, mini-lectures and guided tours. To celebrate the opening of the renovated building, there were also new activities such as the Treasure Hunt for adults, a Science Show and virtual tours.
Amsterdam Science Park’s Science Day is a collaboration of Amsterdam Science Park (Science & Business Foundation), AMOLF, ARCNL, CWI, Nikhef and UvA-FNWI and is part of the Weekend of Science, which takes place every year during the first weekend of October. If you missed Science Day 2024, mark the first Saturday of October 2025 in your diary now!
