When: | Th 15-09-2022 |
Where: | DOT, Groningen |

It has been almost 5 years of the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health and a lot has happened since the opening in 2018. We have worked hard together with our network of researchers and partners to create more healthy years for everyone.
Join us on the 15th of September 2022 at the DOT for an impact show 'Behind the scenes of academic impact' , where we would like to share with you what challenges and opportunities we have encountered and how we have turned them into impactful stories.
We will explore different perspectives : how to create impact on regional, national, and international level, what is the importance of young, talented researchers in the impact journey, and what is the role of media in it?
During the event, Jochen Mierau will share his impact story and will give his farewell as a scientific director of the Aletta Jacobs School of Public Health.

The event is open for anyone who is interested or involved in working towards societal impact through academia.
