When did you last learn something that genuinely surprised you?
Think & Drink brings leading researchers and thinkers into Amsterdam's bars.
Science and ideas, explained by the people who actually work on them.
The kind of evening where you come curious and leave with your brain slightly rearranged.
We swapped the lecture hall for a drink in hand.
Every talk is in English, in an intimate setting, and requires exactly zero background knowledge.
Leave the small talk behind.
