DesignLab x Open House UT EXPLORE FUTURE YOU AND SOCIETY

Wherever you come from, we invite you to use your background and imagination, to experience and touch multiple futures within health, sustainability and a digital society. There is no start or finish, yet we are exploring the challenges together from different perspectives. Be the director of your own journey: join workshops from our researchers and DreamTeam students, and walk through DesignLab’s facility where you can create scenarios and solutions for societal challenges, together with others. 

The Open House at University of Twente is accessible, fun and interesting for all ages. So bring your children and the kid in you, too! Let’s meet each other and co-shape the futures that we want to live in.

Start exploring!

More programme elements will be added in the upcoming weeks.
