Upcoming events

Sustainability Challenge Symposium - 22 January 2026

Join our students for a day in The Hague and hear about the sustainability projects they worked on!
Thursday, 22 January, the tentative timeframe of the event is 13:00 -15:45. 
 
On Thursday the 22nd of January 2026 we host a symposium for all second-year MSc Industrial Ecology (IE) and MSc Governance of Sustainability (GoS) students and their project commissioners. During the second-year course ‘Sustainability Challenge’ our students worked in interdisciplinary teams on a real-world sustainability problem, commissioned by an external company or organisation. This Sustainability Challenge course ends with a real symposium, and you can be part of this event!

Join our symposium, get the insights from the keynote sessions and talks, and walk around and get to see our students presenting their posters, and project outcomes and recommendations for the external commissioners. 
 
We welcome you to Leiden University’s campus in The Hague, in Wijnhaven. You will have the chance to ask any questions that you might have about our programme.

Please note: We can host a max. of 25 interested students for this event. In case the maximum number is reached, and you cannot sign up anymore, please send us an email so we can put your name on the waiting list.

Should you have any questions, feel free to ask us via the Study Advisor of MSc IE or MSc GoS. We are very much looking forward to the symposium, and we hope to see you there. 

Please sign up here.
