Community Day 2025
On 3 April, the EWUU Community Day 2025 took place: an afternoon full of inspiration, connection, and boundary-crossing collaborations with the theme Celebrating the power of (transdisciplinary) collaborations. With an interactive Marketplace of Ideas, in-depth Impact Dialogues, and the festive launch of the National Expertise Centre for Transdisciplinarity, the entire day was dedicated to advancing transdisciplinary innovation.
One of the highlights was the presentation of the EWUU Impact Award – a recognition of teams who, through public engagement, strengthen the visibility of research, societal impact, and transdisciplinary learning.
