Discover it below, note it in your calendar and register where necessary. The line up is not yet complete (locations are not yet known), but updates will follow and you can keep an eye on the Happiness Week page.

A success last year and in Easter version this year, so this edition for three on three: REVA Breakfast on Monday September 18, starting at 9:00 a.m. in kitchen 1B3. A delicious kickstart to the week!

Everyone on track in our department, where are the emphases of our policies and answers to your questions: that's what the open department meeting, on Tuesday September 19, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., is for.

Better good copy than bad thinking. Not exactly a slogan to link to research, but by analogy with the central and faculty Research Day, our CWO is also organizing a Research Day on Wednesday morning September 20. All about the research in our department, flavored with a good touch of outreach.

We love a good pun, but even more love a cozy drink. Enter Graspéro on Wednesday September 20 starting at 4:30 p.m. in the campus green.

And another all week activity: the Secret Hero. What? That's still a secret, but think of it as our version of Secret Santa.

Some new features or tools that strengthen your career: a few info sessions on offer.

On Monday September 18, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m., we invite colleagues from the PhD Career Hub.
In the first hybrid part they will give general information about what the PhD Career Hub and Postdoc Talent Management stand for, with a short presentation on the current situation of researchers and career perspectives inside and outside academia. The second physical part involves some brief exercises regarding career opportunities. Interesting for postdocs and finishing predocs!

The race toward the top eight is raging, but the battle only really erupts during the Happiness Week with the REVA Pong Finals. Who will be the laureate of the first edition of our table tennis tournament, already internationally acclaimed as the fifth Grand Slam? Schedule to follow, but the supporters will provide the experience!

Run, bike, kubbing or sweat together during a workout? The initiative is taken within the existing WhatsApp sports groups!

An occasional detour to the coffee corner is good, but during the (sedentary) workday, we need to pay attention to getting enough exercise. An approachable Bureaufit Challenge is also being woven into the Happiness Week.

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls", Picasso already knew, and for our REVA Day on Thursday afternoon September 21, we are going on the artistic tour. Covering the columns of the Aula with sausage is a bit over the edge, we'll keep it smaller scale but more fun!
