Changemakers

Throughout this Lustrum year, we will be bringing together people who, in their own way, are making a difference on a pressing societal issue. From mental health to AI, from biodiversity to identity. 

In the video series Changemakers, researchers and practitioners engage in dialogue and discover how their perspectives complement and strengthen one another. Get to know our Changemakers and be inspired by how we can create meaningful change together.
