In collaboration with:
Energy, Tech & Tunes
Energy, Tech & Tunes is an initiative by the Municipality of Groningen, ESNS, and the University of Groningen. Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant ecosystem where innovation, culture, and the energy transition come together. We aim to connect visionary thinkers, industry leaders, and creative talents by promoting new collaborations and stimulating dialogue.
Do you want to learn how to effectively use participation in your organization? In the morning, we will dive into the power of collaboration during an interactive workshop (organized by Stichting GROENN and the Rudolf Agricola School) and discuss various ways to involve citizens in strategy and policy. In the afternoon, we will explore the power of events as a catalyst for societal impact. The next step is to communicate this value as a story to the surrounding community. Through practical examples and insights from various studies, we will show how events like ESNS contribute to societal impact.
