Television

Rob is currently busy with television work. You may know him from De Kwis, where he was not only one of the presenters but also the creator. Together with Joep van Deudekom, he created popular science TV formats such as Het Instituut and Wie denk je wel dat je bent? for NPO1.

As a duo, Joep van Deudekom en Rob Urgert gained extensive experience working on television programs such as Onder de tram, Tussen de Oren, and Met de Kennis van Nu. In 2016, Rob and Joep created the programme Het Instituut in collaboration with NTR and BNN. It was broadcast on NPO1 at the end of 2016.

In the programme, one hundred people were confined to a former barracks for a week: Het Instituut. Contact with the outside world was limited, and everyone was treated equally. For a week, they underwent dozens of psychological, social, and physical studies and experiments.
