About Meet the Professor

During Meet the Professor, students from Utrecht elementary schools can ask a research duo anything they want for an hour and are also told exactly what doing research entails. The researchers talk about their research. Climate change, diversity, plant diseases, computer models, ...; they all research something different! 

Prior to Meet the Professor, participating classes are sent teaching materials so that they can prepare for the school visit. Playfully, they find out which duo will visit them. At the same time, the children learn to ask good questions, and are introduced to science and the university.
