Optional outing to ARTIS. A bus to ARTIS will leave from the H building at 13:00. Feel free to bike if you prefer.

We will spend the afternoon at ARTIS Park.
There will be 2 short tours on offer which will begin and end at the Japanese snow monkey enclosure, a short walk from the main entrance. The tickets will allow you to enter the zoo and Micropia.
The bus will leave ARTIS at 17:00 to return to Science Park.
More on the tours in the next section!
During the scientific morning at Science Park, we will discuss our workload and PhD timeframes.
The Workload discussion is based on the latest Employee Satisfaction Survey. The PhD Timeframe evaluation is based on the SEP recommendations and continues on a questionnaire sent to all staff members with the purpose of collecting insight on which factors contribute to an extended PhD trajectory, and which factors help to complete a PhD trajectory in the envisioned 4 years.
At ARTIS, we will split up into teams as a way to organize the tours
You can go with your team on 2 different tours, each lasting around 45 minutes. The tours will start and end at the Japanese snow monkey enclosure. We will be at ARTIS from 13:30 until 17:00 so you will also have some free time. Lunch at SP will include a snack that you can take with you to ARTIS, and remember to bring a water bottle.

IBED and ARTIS tour
This walking tour will be led by your colleagues Emily Burdfield Steel , Willem Frankenhuis , Bart Hoekstra and Rotem Kadan-Zilber.
Emily, Bart and Rotem will start the tour by showing us some automated sensors used for biodiversity monitoring, like camera traps, nest boxes and a radar that detects birds and insects. IBED started deploying these sensors within ARTIS in 2021 as part of the ARISE project.
Willem lived in the park as a child, so he will share some of his amazing and unique experiences.
During your free time, stop by the chimpanzee enclosure. Karline, Evy and Max will be there from 14:00-17:00 to talk about their primate cognition research which integrates results from field work in natural habitats with observations in ARTIS.
ARTIS gardens tour
The ARTIS gardens are beautiful but they are also used to grow edible plants to feed the animals.
Ton Hilhorst has been designing the ARTIS gardens for over 20 years and is the edible plant expert at ARTIS. He will show us some of the thousands of species of edible plants, trees and fungi growing in ARTIS and explain how this program improves the animals' diets and generates less waste.
