Hosted by University of Twente, Enschede
On January 23rd, 2025, the Sectorplan staff under the theme 'Spatial Challenges' is organizing its first National Theme Day. We will gather in a stimulating environment to discuss how to move forward the main objectives of the sector plan Earth & Environmental Sciences within the theme ‘Spatial Challenges’. Discussions will be dedicated primarily to enhancing co-creation and collaboration within and outside academia to address societal challenges. Early-career researchers and PhD candidates will delight the audience by presenting their research in a poster session.
The event will be held in the new ITC building on campus of the University of Twente (max. 50 persons).
It is free of charge and intended for all Sectorplan researchers who are employed by Dutch universities and institutes for the theme 'Spatial Challenges'
