Communities and Universities: Sharing the Journey to Shape the Future – Part 2
The “Communities and Universities: Sharing the Journey to Shape the Future – Part 2” event is a showcase of all of the initiatives that are happening within the ENLIGHT alliance, where universities and their external communities are working together to come up with solutions to today’s societal issues that are the flagship challenges within ENLIGHT.
This event is in continuity with the first part of the dialogue between the ENLIGHT Communities and Universities that began during the ENLIGHT Kick-off Week in March 2021 and was hosted by NUI Galway (National University of Ireland Galway) and Uppsala University on June 18th, 2021.
Representatives from the ENLIGHT regions and cities of Ghent, Bratislava, the Basque Country and Göttingen gave keynotes and participated in a Q&A:
