English Information

The literal translation of the Dutch slogan of the HU is ‘This is where everything comes together’, and at the Festival we do like to take this literally. We want you to meet as many colleagues there as possible. To exchange ideas, catch up and meet new people: On Thursday, April 11, 2024 in the Werkspoorkathedraal. Will you be there as well?

Theme: profiling HBO
Working in higher professional education means that you can go in any direction. You can collaborate with MBO, but also with WO and of course with professional practice. Our research is practice-oriented and we do this together with our partners in the region. And all that from our expertises: Healthy Together, Sustainable Together Sustainable, Digital Together Digital and Learning Together.This unique position allows us to contribute ideally to solving social issues.
That is the essence of the profile of higher professional education; the theme of the Onderwijs & Onderzoek Festival 2024. During the many inspiration sessions you will discover how your colleagues translate this profile to the HU.
