Information Market
The Information Market will be held on Tuesday, 3 September 2024 in the main hallway of the Energy Academy. It offers an opportunity for you to get all the information that you may need to start your journey here at the FSE outside the standard information regarding your programme.
The organisations listed below will all be present at the market. There will also be poffertjes and a barista available outside the venue throughout the day!

International Welcome Centre North (IWCN)
Teaching Qualification - MSc Science, Education and Communication
Escape Room
We need your help solving a big problem! Prof. Ben Feringa, a professor at our faculty, won a Nobel Prize for his work on the development of molecular machines. But the Prize is missing! Can your mentor group find it in time?
The game will take approximately one hour, including instructions and playing time. It has been developed as a teambuilding activity for your mentor group. Your mentor will tell you when you will participate in the game.
The door will not be locked, and the environment will be that of a regular education setting in terms of lighting and sound. The puzzles are varied and require the use of different senses. Some require you to stand and move around, for others you can stay seated if you like. You can choose which puzzles you participate in. If you need to take a break during the game, that’s possible.
If you have concerns about participating in the FSE Escape Game, you can contact your academic advisor or let your mentor know.
