Science on Tap

7/8/2026

Science on Tap brings academics and experts out of the lecture hall and into a more relaxed setting.

About Science on Tap

Science on Tap brings researchers and experts into a more relaxed setting for conversations that connect academic knowledge with everyday life. Over a drink, we tackle big questions, unpack complex topics and create space for curiosity, discussion and new ideas. Accessible, engaging and grounded in research, it's science beyond the lecture hall.

This programme is presented in collaboration with Erasmus University.

Past editions

Thu 16 Jul | Migration: Myth vs Reality  

In collaboration with Erasmus University.

Where does the constant focus on migration come from, and how does the idea that migration is primarily a problem take shape? Asya Pisarevskaya took us beyond the headlines to examine how public opinion on migration is formed, why discussions about it often become negative or polarised, and what role media, politics, and policy play in this.

Speaker: Asya Pisarevskaya, university lecturer in Migration and Diversity Governance at Erasmus University Rotterdam, and leader of the Rotterdam Inclusivity Project.

Thu 19 Jun 2025 | Vergeten Vrouwen in het Verzet

In collaboration with Vrouwen van Rotterdam and Erasmus University.

During this first edition of Science on Tap, we delved into the often-overlooked stories of women—specifically women who were activists. Because there are plenty of them! It is precisely by giving these stories a platform that we empower other (young) women and broaden the perspectives of (young) men.

Speakers: Historian Merel Leeman, and quiz by social change designer Anouk van Mil.


Thu 18 Dec 2025 | Art Goes Bananas

Yes, this actually happened: a banana duct-taped to a wall. And boom: instant art-world chaos. At this edition of Science on Tap we delved into Comedian (2019) by Maurizio Cattelan: the artwork that costs more than your student loan and went viral faster than your group chat on a messy Friday night.

Speaker: Manus Groenen, conservator at Museum Boijmans van Beuningen and art historian.
