Tilburg University Junior
Tilburg University Junior introduces children (9-14) to science in a playful manner. We do so by offering online learning programs and organizing academically oriented events like “Junior University” (Kinderuniversiteit). Some of our programs are listed below. For more information, see the Dutch page.
Children’s University
Every school year, enthusiastic and inspiring Tilburg University scientists teach primary school children aged 9 to 12. These interesting and instructive lectures are watched by hundreds of children every year. The lectures are free of charge, take place on Wednesdays, and introduce children to science and the University.
Children's University is in Dutch. For more information, please see the Dutch page.
Science Hub
Tilburg University Junior is part of the national network of Science Hubs (Wetenschapsknooppunten), in which universities combine their programs for primary education and the lower classes of secondary education. The objective of the Netherlands Science Hubs is promoting an inquisitive attitude and curiosity in children and current and future teachers.
