Art and science unite at the Betweter Festival on 26 September
From Friday 26 September to Sunday 5 October, the Utrecht Science Park will be alive with curiosity and exploration during the annual Utrecht Science Week. For over a week, the Utrecht Science Park opens its doors to everyone interested in both applied and fundamental science. In close collaboration with various partners, a diverse programme is put together, with special focus on themes such as sustainability and health.
One of the highlights of the Utrecht Science Week is the Betweter Festival, which will take place this year on Friday 26 September at TivoliVredenburg. The Betweter Festival is an imaginative and inspiring blend of talks, interviews, art installations, film, music, and live scientific research. It provides a unique meeting place where researchers, artists, and visitors come together in a relaxed and creative atmosphere to reflect on the world of tomorrow and today’s big questions.
Visitors can look forward to a wide range of activities, including lectures, interactive experiments, and performances. The themes vary from urgent topics such as climate change and artificial intelligence to visions of humanity’s future. By experiencing live scientific experiments and engaging with researchers, visitors gain a unique insight behind the scenes of science.
The Betweter Festival thus emphasises the power of collaboration between art and science and encourages new insights and creative solutions for societal challenges.
Tickets for the Betweter Festival are now on sale. For more information, please visit: https://www.betweterfestival.nl/
Organisation
The Betweter Festival is organised by Utrecht University, with principal partners UMC Utrecht, the Utrecht School of the Arts, and HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht.
Knot good: How cells untie DNA to protect the genome
Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such structure, the G-quadruplex (G4), looks like a knot. These knots can play important roles in turning genes on or off. But if not untangled in time, they can harm our genome. Now, researchers from the Knipscheer Group, in collaboration with the Karolinska Institutet, have uncovered a surprising mechanism that keeps these knots in check. Their work, published in Science on June 12th, could lead to new ways to treat diseases like cancer.
Number of animal experiments at Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht declines further in 2024
The number of animal experiments conducted by Utrecht University and UMC Utrecht has declined again over the past year. The numbers dropped from 14,192 in 2023 to 12,584 in 2024. This is evident from the joint 2024 Annual Report on Animal Experiments.
