Science with Society Festival 2025 19 June 2025 14:00 - 17:00

Share
In June we will organise the Science with Society Festival. During this festival, residents, welfare organisations, policy makers, students (from both VU and HvA), teachers and scientists will collaborate and exchange to find fair and effective solutions to complex social issues within and beyond the city of Amsterdam

The central festival will take place on June 19 2025, in the OBA Oosterdok. The festival is all about entertainment, exchange, inspiration and interaction. Interdisciplinary teams of students have, for the past 5 months, conducted research into three themes:

  1. Healthy and Sustainable Food Systems
  2. Mental Health and Resilience
  3. Sustainable, Inclusive and Resilient Cities

During the festival, three dialogue sessions around these themes are organised in which students discuss how their research within different places in the city have contributed to these themes, after which we engage in an interactive dialogue. Then we will have a plenary closing and some drinks! Are you also coming to the Science with Society Festival?
