Active at INM
Science may be our core, but at INM, there’s always room to move. Whether you’re into running, cycling, or team sports, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to stay active and connect with colleagues beyond the lab.
RUNNING
Join our RunnINMates on the track for two of the region’s most popular running events. It’s less about competition and more about team spirit and supporting a good cause.
CYCLING
Take part in the nationwide cycling challenge, collect kilometers for the INM team, and promote a healthier, greener way of commuting.
VOLLEYBALL
Our INM volleyball group meets regularly for friendly matches, a great way to train, compete, and laugh together.
SOCCER
If football is your game, join the INM team for regular sessions where team spirit and fair play are just as important as scoring goals.

Right at INM, a dedicated table tennis station brings colleagues together every day for quick rallies, coffee-break matches, and plenty of fun.
