In order to spread new knowledge and promote collaboration, we regularly invite experts and decision-makers from academia, politics, business and the public sector to dialogue and debate. All our invitations are personal and the topic determines who we invite.
To create the right conditions for dialogue, we adapt our activities to the purpose. We work with three different formats. From large events for broad knowledge dissemination, to moderated debates and smaller roundtables for concrete problem solving.
Events are larger gatherings where we present new knowledge and raise current issues to a wider audience.
Salon debates are moderated discussions that challenge perspectives and deepen understanding in a specific area.
Roundtables are smaller meetings where stakeholders from different sectors come together to share experiences and explore solutions together.
