Conference: Shared Pathways to a Sustainable and Just Future 30 January 2025 09:00 - 17:00

Share
How do scientists from all disciplines, policymakers and practitioners, address the complex issues of the Anthropocene? Sign up, meet others and join the conversation!

We are living in an era where human activity has become a dominant influence on Earth’s climate and environment, leading to new problems of social justice and sustainability. From dealing with increasing polarisation to growing environmental crises and disasters, and from rising healthcare costs to widening inequalities on Earth. How do we deal with this as scientists and as human beings? How can we work together to address these problems?

At the conference Shared Pathways to a Sustainable and Just Future: Navigating the Antropocene on Thursday 30 January, researchers, staff, professionals from inside and outside VU Amsterdam will come together to attend interactive workshops, lectures, panel discussions and keynotes. Sign up now!

It is also possible to partially attend the conference.

Sign up here.
