There will be plenty of room for sharing your questions and insights. So join us on Thursday 13 July, 1200-1400h (including warm vegetarian buffet lunch at 1330).
SustainaLab is located on Amsterdam Science Park and facilitates cooperation between the scientific community, government bodies and the business sector. In our view, this cooperation will be vital in order to make the sustainable transition that is needed. Therefore, SustainaLab organizes this Tegenlicht Meet Up that deals with the challenges of the energy transition and the role of social innovation.
