In korte pitches van drie minuten vertellen jonge onderzoekers van de Radboud Universiteit en het Radboudumc hun verhaal aan jou en een kritische jury. Geen saaie powerpoints, maar bevlogen wetenschappers in hun beste vorm.

About

The Student Big Band Nijmegen plays classics from the Big Band genre, but also more ‘inventive’ music like emerging jazz and fusion. At Radboud Talks they will appear in a smaller but no less exciting ensemble.

Lisa Weeda (1989) writes prose, theater and nonfiction. She makes literary programs for Mooie Woorden in Utrecht and also she teaches at ArtEZ creative writing. In 2016 Lisa published a literary non fiction novel: De benen van Petrovski, about her journey to Ukraine. Lisa is currently working on her novel which will be published at De Bezige Bij.

This programme is mostly in English, but some of the pitches will be in Dutch.
