24-hour museum
Enschede’s municipality has recently opened an online museum to allow for a peek into its varied art collection, including art works normally kept indoors. The Enschede Collection comprises three categories: City History, Modern and Contemporary Art, and Visual Arts. Surf to 24uursmuseum.nl/kunstcollectie.asp and select the option ‘kunstcollectie’ to watch the selected art items.
Café reading
Do you love to read or flick through the latest magazines while enjoying your cappuccino? Or are you keen to improve either your English or German vocabulary? Then café SamSam, located at Enschede’s Old Market Square, may be the place for you. One of its walls is covered with a rather big magazine rack, containing various publications in English – from iPhone magazine to Jamie Oliver’s Jamie to American celebrity gossip magazines and the National Enquirer. German magazines include Der Spiegel and Die Bunte.
Delft in China
Delft University of Technology is the first Dutch university to open a research branch in China. The Beijing branch is based at the Institute of Semiconductors within the Chinese Academy of Science. Doctoral students plan to conduct research on LED lighting, a highly energy-efficient technology. Because of their energy efficiency, LEDs have the potential to prevent millions of tons of carbon emissions and have a potential market worth billions of euros.
