Datum en aanvang
Thursday october 27th, University of Twente
The University of Twente (UT) celebrates its Golden Jubilee with an international conference, focusing on the phenomenon of campus universities. How did they come into existence? What philosophy lies behind a campus? What role does landscaping play?
Examples drawn from across the world – including the USA, Europe and Asia – will be presented. At the centre of the day lies the future of the UT campus. The conference takes place at the UT and offers a very dynamic programme in which participants will have the opportunity to experience many locations across the UT’s renowned campus, providing the time and the space for delegates to experience and reflect on the issues presented in the plenary sessions.
We are delighted to be able to present the following speakers:
- David Neuman master planner of Stanford and Virginia University
- Adriaan Geuze landscape architect and director of West 8
- Ton Schaap
city planner of Enschede
- Paul Benneworth
UT researcher in the field of universities and societal interaction
- Martin de Jong
full professor Public Management (TU Delft), developing a brand new campus in Shenzhen (China).
The conference is moderated by Tracy Metz, journalist for NRC Handelsblad, publisher and expert in urban issues.
