Everything about Eurekaweek
The Eurekaweek in Rotterdam, also known as the largest introduction week in the Netherlands. With thousands of students, spread over several days, it promises to be an unforgettable party every year.
Have you chosen to study at Erasmus University? A good choice, because not only do they offer highly regarded bachelors and masters here, the campus has been completely renovated and offers all the facilities you can think of. In addition, the campus is close to the centre of Rotterdam, so you can easily discover all the beautiful things our city has to offer.
During the Eurekaweek you will learn everything about what the university has to offer. You view the various facilities and get to know the student associations that are associated with the university.
This year the theme is Spread Your Wings! You are about to spread your wings in Rotterdam. That can be quite exciting, but during Eurekaweek you get the chance to meet new people, explore the city and discover all kinds of possibilities. In short, you really learn to fly! All you have to do is spread your wings.
You will complete the programme together with 15 other students and your supervisor(s) for four days. All people who are in the same boat and are starting a new study together with you. A good time to make friends before the first day of classes.
The 2024 Eureka Week will take place from August 19 to 22. International Day will take place on August 18, for all first-year international students.
For the rest of the students, the week starts on Monday, August 19 in Ahoy, where the opening ceremony will take place. After this, you travel with your group and supervisor(s) to the Binnenrotte, where you will have a bite to eat and then discover the city with a city walk. In the evening a great party is waiting for you in Maassilo.
On Tuesday you will spend the entire day exploring the campus, after which a cantus awaits you in Rotterdam Ahoy, or choose to relax with an evening of laughter at a comedy club. Wednesday during the Eurekaweek is all about brunch, sports and roulette and on Thursday you end the week well during a festival with all Eurekaweekgoers.
During the Eurekaweek you and your group will thoroughly explore the city, but not everything will be covered yet. It is certain that Rotterdam is a great student city. Because in addition to the beautiful university, it offers countless nice bars, restaurants, activities and shops to spend your free time well.
