Professional athletes and researchers might seem worlds apart, but in many ways they share common traits and face similar challenges: athletes train rigorously to compete at their best and researchers dedicate countless hours honing their skills and knowledge to make groundbreaking discoveries. Another key aspect is teamwork, athletes rely on their teammates for support and collaboration, much like how you collaborate with colleagues, mentors and experts to tackle complex problems and advance work. And precisely this passion and drive for excellence is needed during the GROWlympics!
Join us for a day full of camaraderie, friendly competition and the opportunity to showcase your teamwork in an Olympic-style setting. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or simply enjoy a challenge, or want to meet other GROW researchers and staff – this social event promises something exciting for everyone! The GROWlympics are an informal team building day for all GROW members. Team up with your colleagues and compete against other GROW teams. The games consist of eight easy-to-play sports activities. Working together is key to win the one and only GROWcup! … and don’t worry, you don’t have to train or prepare beforehand!(;
Programme
We are starting the day with a lunch at 12:00h and the games will take until around 15:30h (including breaks and announcing the winners). We will end the day together with drinks. Make sure to wear clothes that are comfortable and in which you can move well.
