Theme of Eurekaweek 2026: Exceed All Odds!
The theme of this year’s Eurekaweek is Exceed All Odds. It is the start of a new chapter full of opportunities and challenges.
For many students, Eurekaweek marks the beginning of an unforgettable time. You’ll discover a new city, meet new people, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Step by step, you’ll choose your own path.
Dare to try, dare to fail, and dare to exceed your own limits.
It all starts with that first step… Exceed All Odds.
This year’s theme is still to be announced.
The 3 Pillars of the Eurekaweek
The perfect introduction to
The Erasmus University
During the Eurekaweek, you will get to know everything about the Erasmus University. You will be able to explore the campus, and learn about all the associations that connected to the university.
The City of Rotterdam
This beautiful city is known for its harbour and modern vibe. However, Rotterdam has so much more to offer than that! Walk around the city and find your favorite hotspot!
Your Fellow Students
In a group of approximately 15 other students you will go to all the events of the Eurekaweek. This way you already know some classmates before the start of the year! You can also socialize with other groups and go to activities together.
