Summer time in the lab 2025 – Updated April 25

palmstrandWe are eagerly anticipating summer! If you are planning to work in the lab during the summer, please take note of the following:

  • From Monday July 21-Friday August 22, opening hours will be restricted to 8.00-17.30h. (Note that the closure of  almost all UU buildings will NOT apply to Janskerkhof 13 – the building will be open all summer for the ILS labs as well as for Philosophy&Religion). (There will be noisy maintenance works done during this time though, about three weeks’ worth – we’ll let you know when exactly, once we know).
  • It will not be possible to measure participants August 11-15 because the UIT-dagen are unbearably noisy and make it difficult to get to Janskerkhof 13. (Strictly speaking the UIT-dagen are August 11-14, but our experience is that August 15 is usually still a bit noisy as well). Lab support will probably be working on updating equipment on these days.
  • The rest of the summer, there will be lab support in room 0.09, but we may miss a day here or there due to support staff vacations. If you absolutely need support on a certain day, check in advance via ilslabs@nulluu.nl.
  • The lab managers will be away for longer stretches of time in summer, so if you need Marijn, Desiree or Iris, definitely check in advance when they’ll be there.
  • Running an experiment involving the adult participant database is not recommended in summer since a lot of students are simply not in Utrecht then, so recruitment is rather difficult. If you want to try anyway, please contact Iris Mulders by July 8.
