WOS Day: 'Better through challenges together'

‘Optimism is a responsibility’. This guiding principle of Wubbo Ockels will be the starting point for our upcoming event.

How can we move forward in the crucial energy transition and climate adaptation with positivity, learning from our mistakes and turning them into strength? That is the core question we will explore together.

We’re delighted to announce two inspiring keynote speakers who will share their perspectives:

• Paul Iske – Founder and Chief Failure Officer of the Institute for Brilliant Failures.
  Paul promotes a deeper understanding of the complexity of innovation and entrepreneurship, emphasising how learning from failure drives progress.

• Valentina Lozano Nasi – Researcher introducing the concept of transilience: the perceived capacity to persist, adapt, and transform positively in the face of adversity.

Join us for our annual WOS Day on as we explore how optimism, learning, and resilience can power the transitions of our time.

More information about the programme will follow soon.

Save the date in your calendar, we look forward to welcoming you on Thursday 26 March 2026 at the House of Connections!
