Recap of the
‍

PAS festival

The festival took place at various locations across the city.

We are looking back on a fantastic tenth edition of the PAS Festival! Two wonderful evenings filled with music, inspiration and moments of wonder.

PAS officially kicked off on Thursday 3 September at Tapijn with the performance Ripple, in which performers rolled across the stage inside a gigantic metal spiral.

On Friday and Saturday evenings (4 and 5 September), visitors could choose from dozens of talks, musical acts and theatre performances. No two PAS experiences were the same!

The children’s programme on Saturday afternoon was very well attended. Our youngest visitors had the chance to discover everything the university has to offer, in a fun and playful way.

We hope to welcome you back to the PAS Festival in 2028! For now, we’ll be reliving the wonderful memories with these photos.
