The Eurekaweek is the official introduction week of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. EUREKA is a Dutch acronym which translates into Erasmus University Rotterdam First-Year Orientation Activities. This year, the Eurekaweek will take place between the 17th and the 20th of August. The main purpose of this week is to get you familiarised with Rotterdam's student life and to meet your fellow students. The key elements of this week is the University, your study, your fellow students, student-, study and sports associations and the city of Rotterdam. During the Eurekaweek you'll be shown around town by two guides who are older students of your study at Erasmus University. At the opening of the Eurekaweek you will be assigned to a group of about 15 students from the same study. With these people and your guides, you will explore the student life. During the day, the programme concerns some of the more serious aspects, such as the University and a tour through Rotterdam and in the evenings, there are a ton of spectacular parties.
