About SciCast
This October we are launching SciCast: a vodcast series on energy transition and industrial transformation in the Netherlands. The vodcast is a public event at Delft of University’s new building on the Spui in The Hague. Each episode brings together academics, industry experts and government representatives for an interdisciplinary discussion on timely themes. Every episode explores one topic from multiple perspectives, such as technical, economic, environmental and regulatory, together with three experts. In this way, we build a dynamic platform for dialogue between society, academia, industry and government, and engage a broader public in the conversation.
