Contribute to Pint of Science Maastricht, from 20-22 May 2019

The largest science festival in the world, Pint of Science, is coming to Maastricht! In 2018, this festival was simultaneously organised in 21 countries, including the Netherlands (for the first time!). After the successful Dutch premiere of last year with the universities of Amsterdam and Utrecht, now, Maastricht will join.

Do you want to contribute to this cool idea and help to share research with the public? Let’s make it happen together in Maastricht.

Pint of Science is a science festival initiative of communicating science to all members of our society while enjoying a drink in a pub. For the coming year, Pint of Science will take place from 20 until 22 May 2019 in multiple cities simultaneously in the Netherlands and across the world. It provides a unique opportunity for Maastricht University to make its research accessible to the public with topics such as:

  • Beautiful Mind – neuroscience, psychology and psychiatry
  • Atoms to Galaxies – physics, chemistry, maths, astronomy
  • Our Body – medicine, human biology, health
  • Planet Earth – geosciences, plant sciences, zoology
  • Tech Me Out – biotechnology, robotics, computers
  • Our Society – law, history, politics, policy, languages

Call

On behalf of the Maastricht organising team, we are calling for researchers (PhD students, Post-doctoral, Professors) to participate in Pint of Science, by presenting inspiring research topics to the public in an approachable manner.

To warm up for the Pint of Science event in May, we are already preparing a first “taster” event that will take place in February.

Are you that enthusiastic researcher who wants to share research and findings with the general public and/or fellow researchers in a unique and relaxed way? Join us!

In order to ensure a successful Pint of Science event, we need the help of:

  • event managers to arrange the pubs and for hosting the events
  • speakers to give presentation for the public
  • support to help with the preparation of the events until May, such as the distribution of flyers, but also during the days of the events by assisting with the presentations and the seating arrangements/drinks inside the pubs.

If you are interested to participate, please write a short email expressing your specific interest to our City Co-ordinator: Dr. Katerina Kandylaki via katerina.kandylaki@maastrichtuniversity.nl or to our Communications Officer: Ms. Eleni Liapi (e.liapi@maastrichtuniversity.nl) and we will contact you shortly.

We are looking forward to your unique contributions for a successful Pint of Science Maastricht in May 2019!

On behalf of the Maastricht team,

Katerina Kandylaki and Eleni Liapi
