Invitation

This year鈥檚 Start of the Academic Year will focus on public engagement and the reopening of the renovated Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 Museum, the leading research museum in the Netherlands.

    Public engagement

    Why the focus on public engagement? Because academics require partnerships with other parties in order to properly do their work; not only with fellow academics, policymakers or businesses, but also with people for whom the value of science is not always self-evident. Accordingly, Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 attaches great value to getting a broad and diverse cross-section of society engaged with science. To this end, we invest in public engagement. Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 Museum is one of the forums where the academic community and the general public can meet and have a dialogue.

    During the ceremony, Anton Pijpers will give his opening speech and address the theme. Keynote speaker is social psychologist Madelijn Strick. She is a researcher in the field of public engagement and co-founder of the . Henk Kummeling will more specifically discuss the significance of the Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 Museum in relation to public engagement. In addition, Margot van der Starre will announce the winners of the Student Awards: the Best Master鈥檚 Thesis award, the Vliegenthart Thesis Award and the Social Impact award.
