Campus Visuals

Description

Event description:
Campuses are the hotspots of today's knowledge economy. Here, new collaborations are being formed, talent is being prepared for the future and innovation materialises. The Amsterdam region has many campuses, innovation districts and living labs, each with unique and diverse characteristics and thematic focuses. Campus Amsterdam was founded in 2018 to stimulate knowledge sharing between these diverse knowledge districts, but also to support knowledge creation and to facilitate crossover collaboration on today’s societal challenges. Learn from Tampere (Finland), Groningen and Eindhoven during the Metropolitan Conference: Campus Amsterdam.

Campus Amsterdam functions as a gateway for researchers, students, and entrepreneurs wanting to access the knowledge base of the Amsterdam region. During this Conference, we will explore how campuses can be more than just physical clusters of business, research, and education. By comparing the Campus Amsterdam case with European and national ones, from Tampere (Finland), Groningen and Eindhoven we will touch on questions such as: What is needed to make campuses truly innovative hotspots? How can campuses become inspirational beacons for sustainable and inclusive urban development? And in what way can Amsterdam campuses’ knowledge and competencies be shared to benefit wider communities?
