Challenge trilogy

What role can science & innovation play in solving today’s global challenges? Celebrating 80 years of science & innovation, the tenant at Brightlands Chemelot Campus have joined forces to organize a Challenge Trilogy: a special series of three festive events designed to challenge the campus community to design a better future.

Innovation Challenge

Innovation ‘What innovation will look like in the future’

Innovation: we work with it in our jobs and it’s on our curious minds every day. We also wonder about the future of innovation. What will innovation look like in ten or twenty years from now? What is the dot on the horizon from a research point of view? What kind of infrastructure will be necessary by that time? And what will be the impact on the human aspects of science and how it’s organized, for example?

On 27 October, three campus tenants will share their vision on innovation in a pitch to be challenged by the audience, including an interactive panel with a startup and an external expert. We guarantee you will feel the chemistry!

Register now; seats are limited due to corona guideline restrictions. Seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. If the event is sold out, we will share a link so you can participate online via our livestream.
