The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam promotes research and education that investigates in depth important societal challenges, such as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals, and is impactful in contributing to solutions. Inclusiveness, whereby research helps find new ways to connect people in a quickly changing world, is a foundation for this.
The Connecting World Conference, which will take place on June 30 and July 1, brings together VU researchers in the broad theme of the Connected World with guests from abroad from VU’s many international cooperation programs. The conference program includes:
- Connected World PhD Doctoral Consortium (call for contributions)
- Digital Society & Global Citizenship (Aurora Workshop)
- Connecting Worlds on Food and Water (CIS Workshop)
- Poster Market Get-together (call for contributions)
- Keynotes
Deadlines for submissions for the Doctoral Consortium and the Poster Market Get-together, as well as further instructions, can be found here.
