Kick-off Digital Pathways to Sustainability Community

to

The Digital Pathways to Sustainability Community (Digital Pathways) is pleased to invite you to their kick-off event on 17 March, 15.00-17.00. 

Digital Pathways is part of Utrecht University’s broader Pathways to Sustainability strategic theme, exploring how digital transitions can be aligned with sustainable futures by addressing both their negative impacts and their potential to generate innovative sustainability solutions.

The community brings together researchers, lecturers, students, support staff and external partners who share an interest in shaping more sustainable digital futures. Everyone with an interest in this topic is warmly invited to join!

At the kick-off event, we will explore forward-looking approaches to sustainable digitalisation, connect with colleagues from different disciplines, and discuss how this community can support future collaboration and impact.

The programme will feature three short talks reflecting the main themes of Digital Pathways.

The second half of the event will focus on getting to know one another and identifying new opportunities for future collaboration.
