Public Engagement Community Event | TOPIC CHANGE!
In light of the recent developments concerning budget cuts and the future of the University Museum, Scholierenacademie, Green Office and other university units, we are changing the focus of this event!
We would like to take this opportunity to reflect together on these developments, explore possible next steps as a community, and open up a broader conversation about the role of public engagement at a fifth-generation university.
We warmly invite everyone who would like to contribute to this conversation, share perspectives and explore possible ways forward.
