Throughout the year we organize to main events in Dcember and in June:
Student & Society in Dialogue
During this event, residents from various neighbourhoods in Amsterdam raise the local topics that they think research should address. Students from VU and HvA discuss these topics with the residents in creative ways, for example by creating art with spray paint. Ultimately, the residents and students co-define a research agenda with topics for research to examine.

Science with Society (SwS) Festival
During this event, research agendas as defined during ‘Student & Society in Dialogue’ are shared with residents, local organisations, students, researchers, teachers and policymakers. Together, we exchange knowledge and ideas. We reflect on if we are giving substance to topics such as 'fair energy transition', ’local food systems’ and 'spaces for mental strength' in the right way.
