It will start at 14:00 at Oude Delft 251. In case of bad weather we will play shuffle (sjoelen) and dart. The meal afterwards starts at 18.30.

* propose to stay in the UK for a minimum of 1 month and a maximum of 4 months;
* are supported by their home institution in this endeavour;

Award
The European Commission has launched the Archimedes Prize. This is an award for undergraduate students of higher education institutions in Europe having developed original scientific ideas or concepts in areas which are relevant to the advancement of European science. The aims of this award include the importance of raising public awareness of the importance of science, and the need to encourage young people to take up careers in science. This is reflected by the fact that Archimedes Prize winners will be awarded funds to develop their future scientific careers (i.e. which could be put towards postgraduate/doctoral or other courses). There are 3 first prizes of 60.000 Euro per project, 3 second prizes of 50.000 Euro per project and 3 third prizes of 40.000 Euro per project.
Students are invited to present a project that they have completed on one of the following topics, which have been selected for this year’s prize: concepts to aid disabled people; desertification and drought; mathematical modelling for social and economic sciences; new medicines from natural sources.
Applications can be made by individuals or by groups of students, who must be nationals of a Member of Associated State, or have been residing in the EU for at least the last five years.

The deadline for applications is 31 July.
