Knowledge Mile Morning Meetup #28 | FCB Amsterdam

If you're working on system change, you will face plenty of uncertainty and polarisation. The outcome is also unpredictable: we're working on a different future, but we don't know exactly what that will look like. And systems change requires an integrated approach, as different aspects - from technology to politics - have to change simultaneously. So in transitions, merely setting and hitting targets won't do.

This 3-day, Dutch-language course introduces you to valuable knowledge, tools and approaches, aimed at learning and adapting in transitions – for all transition makers who want to improve their monitoring game. It's taught by Barbara van Mierlo, associate professor at Wageningen University & Research and a founder of the methodology 'Reflexive Monitoring in Action' as well as PJ Beers, senior researcher at DRIFT and lecturer at HAS Green Academy.

Sign-up for 2025 is now open.

🔔 Het Innovation Dinners seizoen is weer van start! 🔔

Op woensdag 16 oktober is de aftrap van ons nieuwe seizoen! Dan organiseren Bouwlab en 3D Makers Zone vanuit het programma van EDIH weer de bekende Innovation Dinners.
We gaan verder met het inspirerende thema waar we gebleven waren: <strong>Materialen</strong>.
Deze keer verwelkomen we twee experts die hun visie delen over de toekomst van klimaatneutrale materialen en innovatieve bouwtechnieken:

<strong>Jan Willem Slijkoord</strong>, entrepreneur in klimaatneutrale materialen en moleculaire recycling van plastics, deelt zijn visie op het oplossen van het verpakkingsafvalprobleem. Wat is het échte probleem, en hoe kunnen we composieten recyclen en ontmantelen?

<strong>Eric Geboers</strong>, oprichter van <strong>Concr3de</strong>, vertelt over hun revolutionaire technieken voor het 3D-printen van steen en hout. Geen houtgranulaat, maar een volledig nieuwe methode met veelbelovende resultaten!

📅 <strong>Wanneer</strong>: Woensdag 16 oktober, 17:30 - 20:00
📍 <strong>Waar</strong>: 3dmz / Bouwlab, Oudeweg 91-95, Haarlem
