About this Event

Sustainability Friday is a recurring event where we discuss, connect and bring inspiration to each other :)


In person we will meet at the entrance of the main building of the VU( the tallest one) - the entrance is facing de Boelelaan street (see the pin on the map below). I'll have a green folder with me. If you cannot find us call me at +31615466090


*** IMPORTANT UPDATE ***


Because of recent problems regarding attendance we have decided to implement the following rules:


If you subscribe to the event that means that you commit to attending. In case you cannot attend please let us know at least 1 day before the event via whatsapp/call/sms on +31615466090 or via email ([email protected]). Out of respect for the other participants and also for the organizers this rule is very important.


Also you have to commit to the choice you make of whether you will attend online or in person.

In the situation when you will not or cannot fulfill these requirements, also failing to provide us with a prior notification for the second time you get removed from the group and also you forfeit your right to join future events for 6 months. Of course there are emergencies, unexpended problems that arise for anyone but these problems arise please do contact us at the number mentioned above if you can no longer attend.

Thank you for understanding and hope to see you at our event !


Every Month you are invited to our Sustainability Friday !!!


During our discussions you can get inspired and exchange ideas with like minded people, network and many times learn of new ideas, projects, etc


Most of our discussions revolve around one or several of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) and specifically many times about Climate change where we many times do a sort of AMA (ask me anything) about Climate science - modern climate vs ancient(Paleo) climate.


We also tackle many times the issue regarding the global evolution towards clean energy and the possible impacts of the significant changes that occurred in the last years, sort of sustainability news. Hopefully our speaker, if any, will have what to say about that as well ;-)


We are always open for anything you want to bring forward, as long as it is inline with making sense & making our planet a better place to live on. Come and try your workshop, show us something cool you have created, anything you like, just contact us and we'll see how we can accommodate you.


Agenda for the event:


19:00 Walk in(connecting) and get comfortable


19:10 Check-in and a short presentation and updates from makesense


19:20 Short introduction about the interests of every participant and here each attendee can propose a discussion topic. If we have too many topics we will take a vote to decide which topic to discuss.


19:40 We'll start with a few sustainability news or a short presentation on a specific topic


20:00 Let's start discussing about the chosen topic !


20:45 closing and check-out :)


21:00 We can also stay longer if anyone wants to continue the discussion (we often do this and it's fun but it's not a requirement, of course)


And if you have ideas or topics that you would like us to address in our events - let's discuss these together - we are open to new events proposals.


In fact if any of you are interested, any of you can prepare a 10-20 minute talk/presentation on any given topic ranging from SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) to basically any topic that you think is worth discussing when we think of how to make our planet a bit better. And also at the beginning of the event we will invite everyone to propose discussion topics and then if there are more than 2 we will take a vote as to which topic to discuss.


Thank you for your interest :)


This week, the event will be hybrid - both in person and online in order to accommodate both options. If you cannot find us or if you need help in connecting, contact us at +31615466090 (Dragos).
