At work, during your studies, in the pub or while enjoying your holiday…. science is everywhere. In Science for everyone, live theater lectures are given by top scientists. Not endless talk, but rather good interactive stories that you will learn something from and can laugh about.

The University of the Netherlands will bring science closer to you with this fascinating show. And all that under the inspirational leadership of presenter and comedian Fuad Hassen.

A story about the next step forward, which shows that together we are capable of unthinkable changes. Voor ieder wat waars is a powerful remedy against the stubborn cynicism and the perceived powerlessness of our time.
