The lustrum excursion will go to Mol, in Belgium. There, we will visit an underground institute that does research on safely storing highly radioactive waste in clay. The institute is located 225 meters beneath the surface and has the appropriate name HADES (High Activity Disposal Experimental Site). We will reach this exotic destination by bus which will leave from the Huygens building.

Lay back and relax in the North canteen during a Superhero movie. Which movie will be decided in a facebook poll, but it will definitely be fun.

High magnetic fields are an extremely powerful tool to investigate, to control and to manipulate the quantum properties of matter. In this talk I will present some recent results on the electronic properties of 2D materials (transition metal dichalcogenides MoS2 and WS2) which can be accessed by the combination of high magnetic and electric fields. In particular, I will show how you can transform an electrically insulation material into a superconductor with zero resistance and how this superconductivity surprisingly survives the high magnetic field of HFML.

On the first Thursday of the lustrum we will make a trip to a different location: starting at 19:00 all of you are welcome at Next Level, to make good use of a real karaoke set where you can showcase your singing skills! Beer prices are quite generous at €1,50, so you have no excuse not to come to the city centre and enjoy this evening.

Dit gaat de grootste en spectaculairste activiteit van het lustrum zijn. Om 4 uur begint het rustig aan met de mogelijkheid tot speeddaten tussen studenten en alumni. Zo kunnen alumni ontdekken hoe de studie er nu uit ziet en wat Marie nog allemaal organiseert en kun je als student ontdekken wat het leven na je studie te bieden heeft. Daarna zal het festival echt losbarsten met verschillende optredens, rondleidingen over de afdelingen, interessante sprekers die gaan vertellen over natuurkunde en een food court! Dit wil je absoluut niet missen. Er is genoeg tijd om alles te bekijken, want het Huygens blijft speciaal voor ons open tot 1 uur s nachts!

On Sunday, the 25th of February, we will go karting at Anac in Neerbosch Oost. You will be able to race two seats against 13 other players. Will you emerge Marie Curie next top racer?

After the race there is the opportunity to eat a two or three course meal at the Waagh with a student discount (10 euros). Drinks are not included in this price.

For this Super Symposium there will be three speakers: two before dinner and one after. With Sijbrand de Jong serving as chairman, you are bound to be fascinated by our speakers for the entire evening, with the subjects of superconducting magnets, supersymmetry and a third subject to be announced! Registry opens at 15:30, the talks begin at 16:00.
