Reflecting on an inspiring Dies Natalis 2025 at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ
On 26 March, we celebrated the 389th Dies Natalis of Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ, centered around the crucial theme: Healthy Planet. With our planet facing immense challenges in sustainability, health, and climate change, the discussions focused on actionable solutions and transdisciplinary collaboration.
A key highlight was the Dies Dialogue Session on Biodiversity & (Planetary) Health, organized by the ULS Planetary Health community. Researchers, educators, and staff came together to reflect, exchange ideas, and co-create strategies to further integrate Planetary Health into education, research, and community engagement at Utrecht ľ¹Ï¸£ÀûÓ°ÊÓ. Through interactive exercises, group discussions, and knowledge sharing, we explored how our work connects to planetary health, and what concrete steps we can take moving forward.
A huge thank you to our colleagues , , , , and for shaping this session, and to everyone who contributed to these meaningful conversations! Let’s keep working towards a healthier planet for all 🌱✨
