☀️ Utrecht University is celebrating its 390th anniversary! 🌞 In the lustrum programme two courses are being offered by UMC Utrecht highlighting how the Planetary Health crisis extends far beyond climate change alone: it represents a broader environmental and systems-level challenge that intensifies ongoing public health issues and is driven by social inequities, unequal access to resources, and disparities in political power. Participants in these courses will build a foundational understanding of the key concepts, frameworks, and justice-oriented perspectives that shape the field of planetary health. Suited for professionals, policymakers, researchers (including PhD candidates), and master’s students seeking to contribute to structural change and to deepen their understanding of their role within broader societal and ecological systems.
Foundations of Planetary Health, 13 - 17 July
Transforming Systems for Planetary Health, 20 – 24 July

🗳️ Burgers en Instellingen Verbonden. Vandaag stemmen we niet alleen voor een nieuwe gemeenteraad. We stemmen voor de manier waarop we samen onze samenleving vormgeven.

Gemeenteraadsverkiezingen gaan over meer dan beleid. Ze gaan over betrokkenheid, vertrouwen en hoe we omgaan met verschillende perspectieven in onze gemeenschap.

In een tijd waarin maatschappelijke vraagstukken steeds complexer worden, is het belangrijker dan ooit dat burgers en overheden elkaar weten te vinden. Een veerkrachtige samenleving ontstaat wanneer alle stemmen gehoord worden én invloed hebben.

✨ Daar sluit onze driedaagse zomercursus naadloos op aan. We onderzoeken hoe burgers en overheden kunnen samenwerken aan een samenleving die tegen een st***je kan — en waarin iedereen zich gezien voelt.

Voor ambtenaren en professionals uit zowel de publieke als private sector die willen bouwen aan verbinding, dialoog en veerkracht. Van 6 tot en met 8 juli. Link in bio.
