Utrecht Science Week 2023: together towards a healthy, sustainable society
The power of innovation and cooperation aimed at a healthy, sustainable society is at the focus of the third edition of Utrecht Science Week. From Friday 29 September to Sunday 8 October next, the Utrecht Science Park will open its doors wide for students, professionals and all other interested parties to meet and exchange knowledge. Everyone is welcome.
At the Utrecht Science Park, the largest science park in the Netherlands, over 55,000 students and 30,000 employees of renowned knowledge institutions, medical centres and companies work intensively together to develop and apply groundbreaking science and solutions in the fields of healthcare, life sciences and sustainability.
Utrecht Science Week is keen to highlight the relevance and results of this collaboration. For inspiration, to make even more of a difference together. To strengthen and expand existing cooperation and to discover new, promising coalitions and alliances.
In close cooperation with the partners – Hogeschool Utrecht, Utrecht University, University Medical Centre Utrecht, Prinses Máxima Centrum, Genmab, Hubrecht Institute and RIVM – a varied, relevant programme is being developed. From June, anyone can register for the various programme components.
Join in!
With Utrecht Science Week, we celebrate the harvest and opportunities of the rich breeding ground of the Utrecht Science Park. And we plant seeds. For new knowledge and new encounters. Take part and mark the dates in your diary. Follow Utrecht Science Week on the website and via the social media.
