Start of the academic year!
The Academic Year Has Begun! 📚
Excitement is in the air as we kick off another incredible academic year at Codon! These past weeks have been nothing short of fantastic, with a whirlwind of activities and warm welcomes to our new bachelor and master students during the AID.
🎉 AID Study Day: We set the tone with a day brimming with engaging activities, laughter, and memorable conversations. It was the perfect opportunity to forge new connections. As the day drew to a close, we savored a delightful barbecue followed by an unforgettable evening of fun at the Bunker.
🎈 Loads of Activities: At Codon, we never rest! We’ve already enjoyed a series of thrilling events, including Axie’s exciting kick-off, an adrenaline-pumping lacrosse workshop by the Sportcie, and a festive Dies week that marked Codon’s 32 years of excellence. Hip hip hooray!
🥳 AUG Start Party: Brace yourselves because next week, we’re unleashing the infamous AUG Start Party! It’s going to be epic, and we can’t wait to see you there. Get ready for a night that promises unforgettable memories.
Stay tuned for more thrilling updates and upcoming events throughout the academic year. 📖✨

Board visits Applikon Biotech
Some time ago we visited sponsor Applikon Biotech in Delft! This company produces custom bio reactors from scratch. They start on the computermodels and end by transporting the reactors outside their quarters. The board of 2020 has enjoyed meeting Appikon Biotech!
MSD Animal Health visit
Two weeks ago the board of 2020 visited the head sponsor of CODON, MSD Animal Health. They traveled to the headquarters of the company in Boxmeer. MSD Animal Health produces various vaccins for animals. The visit was fun and has certainly tightened the bond between MSD Animal Health and CODON!
