The Eurekaweek is the introduction week of Erasmus University Rotterdam (EUR). As a new student you get to know everything our university has to offer. During our events you will explore campus Woudestein, you will become acquainted with the various faculties and associations associated with the university, and you will receive a warm welcome as a new 'Erasmiaan'.
The ticket sale for one of the largest introduction weeks in the Netherlands has started again. Under the theme "Exceed All Odds," Eurekaweek marks the beginning of a new chapter full of opportunities and challenges for all first-year bachelor and (pre-)master students in Rotterdam.
Every year, it is the reality for thousands of students starting a higher professional (HBO) or university (WO) programme in Rotterdam: you discover a new city, meet new people, and make memories for life. To get off to a good start in September, the Eurekaweek was therefore brought into life.
