Think fast. Think smart. Claim the title of the smartest person in the room. As part of Dutch Science Week, PLNT Students brings you a high-energy quiz night inspired by De Slimste Mens, where science, innovation, and competition meet in a fast-paced team battle.
What can you expect?
Teams of students will compete across multiple interactive rounds: from rapid-fire science questions and visual puzzles to creative problem-solving challenges inspired by real-world research and innovation. Along the way, expect surprising twists, time pressure, and plenty of moments where quick thinking matters more than memorised facts.
What makes this edition special is its connection to practice: alongside student-level challenges, we integrate questions and themes shaped with professionals and experts from different scientific fields, linking what you learn in the room to what happens in labs, startups, and research environments.
Organised by PLNT Students at PLNT Leiden, this event is designed to be more than a quiz, it’s a social, competitive, and inspiring evening where ideas move fast, and teamwork wins.
Expect energy, laughter, and a bit of pressure!
Expect science that feels alive and relevant!
Expect one team to walk away with the title!
Bring your friends, form your team, and get ready to think differently.
