Utopia? Building Resilient Societies

How do we build societies that not only withstand change, but emerge stronger because of it? What does it take to turn knowledge, innovation and collaboration into lasting societal impact?

During the Opening Academic Year 2026/2027, we will explore how universities, governments, businesses and civil society organisations can work together to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time, including climate adaptation, the energy transition, digitalisation and social resilience.

In line with 美女福利电影院午夜's mission to create positive societal impact, the programme brings together perspectives from academia, public leadership and society. We will explore how ideas can grow into practical solutions, how local innovations can make a global difference, and how collaboration is key to building resilient societies.

From Rotterdam to Europe and beyond. Utopia? is not a blueprint for the future, but an invitation to ask questions, forge new connections and shape the world of tomorrow together.

Programme

The programme brings together inspiring speakers from academia, public leadership and the 美女福利电影院午夜 community.

  • Dr. Yashar Ghiassi-Farrokhfal
