Get ready for the on-site FASoS graduation ceremonies!
Are you ready? The FASoS graduation ceremonies will take place onsite again this year! We are super excited to be able to welcome all graduates of the academic year 2020/2021 to the FASoS graduation ceremonies.
In June, we had already communicated on what dates the ceremonies would take place. Please note that there is one tiny date and time change for the MA European Studies on Society, Science and Technology and the MA Globalisation and Development Studies. For an overview of the date and time of your graduation ceremony, please have a look at the FASoS graduation website.

MUSTS researchers publish book ‘Unboxed’
MUSTS has launched a public display exhibit, a book and postcards on Instruments for science and technology in Centre Céramique.
Since when do we have water- and gas-meters at home? How did the siren we hear at the first Monday of each month come about? What did old laboratory-instruments, such as the camera lucida or the cloud chamber, serve to investigate? How did doctors learn to listen with their stethoscopes and see with röntgen-images? Why do older people use different gestures for phones than younger generations? What makes an electric plug more than a plug?

Pick up your copy of the FASoS poetry booklet!
During the first lockdown last year, FASoS staff and students participated in a poetry, picture and art contest. We published all entries we received in a beautiful booklet.
This year, while we were in another lockdown, we made the same call for submissions of poetry, art, short stories, photography, and pictures in the FASoS weekly. Again, we received many beautiful poems, drawings and pictures. And we decided to compile all entries into a second edition of the poetry booklet titled Letters in Lockdown. You can pick up a free copy of Letters in Lockdown at your secretariat or at the Marketing and Communications Office (GG90-92, B0.34).
