Thematic cooperation in working groups
Our members work together on activities within four clusters: communication, events, facilities and representation. Also, current developments require a thematic approach. We have formed working groups based on the Kennispark areal strategy and the subsequent structural vision. The current working groups are:

  • Spatial development: how do we achieve the appearance of a campus?
  • Short-term areal developments
  • Community building
  • International branding
