The very first event of the Wubbo Ockels School for Energy and Climate will take place on April 3rd at 4:30 pm (walk-in from 16.15) at the House of Connections. This event is a celebration of Wubbo Ockels' remarkable legacy and a reflection on his message about the urgent need to save our spaceship Earth.
During the event, Ton Schoot Uiterkamp, a former colleague and friend of Wubbo Ockels, will take us on a journey through Wubbo's legacy. Moreover, as a special highlight of the event, Ton will present Joos, Wubbo's wife, with a booklet containing an overview of achievements of Wubbo Ockels. Additionally, three speakers - a former student, colleague and the co-founder of De Groene Grachten - will share how Wubbo's passion for a sustainable planet continues to inspire their work today.
After the presentations, we will engage in a lively discussion to hear your ideas on the most pressing challenges and how the School can respond to them with actionable steps.
Unfortunately places for the event are limited, so please register March 29 at the latest if you would like to join. First come, first served.
