Wageningen is a city bursting with science and knowledge. The role of knowledge and science in decision-making is a topic widely debated on – and an important one. This week we were interviewed by students of the course Landscape Economics and Politics about our visions on the growth and opportunities of Wageningen. Besides us, numerous stakeholders were approached. The students will now analyse their data and write advise for the municipality. We find it important to be available for such requests for others to learn while contributing to real-life questions. Often these projects result in new insights which can be taken into account in decision-making. We’re looking forward to the valuable results! #science #politics #wageningen

What are your ideas for the Aula? Wageningen UR is looking for a new purpose for the Aula located at the Generaal Foulkesweg. Previously, the Aula has been used for graduations and Phd defences. The new plans needs to give justice to the cultural-historical value of the building and should be an added value for the city center of Wageningen. Ideas on the table are for example a Hotel or a Filmhouse. We want to know what your ideas are! Share them in the comments! 📷 Sven Menschel

Smart mobility is the future. Or is it? Today we attended an inspiring symposium about smart mobility and what it could mean for Wageningen. Examples from student city Nijmegen to how companies are committed to encouraging their employees to use smarter transportation lead to interesting discussions. Presentations and input from FoodValley, WUR, Gelderland Province, Wageningen Municipality, and researchers highlight the necessity for a multi-disciplinary approach. It was definitely an inspiring afternoon that boosted our creativity to further think about how to improve Wageningens mobility issues. #smart #mobility
