Contributing to the great challenges of our time

Margrethe Jonkman and Vinod Subramaniam, college presidents of VU and UT respectively, look back and forward to the cooperation between the two universities. About building trust, good interaction and a future generation of thinkers and workers. 'We want to put even more emphasis on the huge importance of technology in relation to acceptance and behaviour.' 'A lot of energy is released within the collaboration. That continues to be great to see. This is also about making an impact and being at the centre of society. If you want to solve social problems, you have to do that from different disciplines. That also typifies our cooperation. It is also great that students from North Holland can now study engineering close to home. Thanks to our cooperation and the great work of the people from Mechanical Engineering and Creative Technology.
