At a time when big issues like sustainability can often seem overwhelming, we see complexity not as a barrier, but as an opportunity. By bringing different perspectives together, we can discover new possibilities and remain optimistic about the future.
During this celebration, Linda Douw, chair of the University Review Committee and associate professor of neuroscience, will engage in a conversation with Sem Barendse, dialogue coordinator and moderator of this conversation. Together they will explore the power of diverse perspectives and the importance of empathy in complex social issues.
Presentation of honorary doctorate
We look forward to awarding an honorary doctorate to renowned writer Marilynne Robinson. Her work, which focuses on themes such as ethics, religion and the human condition, offers profound reflections on freedom, justice and the role of community.
Dance Group Griffioen
The celebration will be further enriched by an inspiring performance by Griffioen's dance group, led by Evelina Martinova, who will bring the complex and hopeful themes of the Dies to life through dance.
We look forward to welcoming you to this inspiring afternoon!
