Thursday october 27th, University of Twente
The University of Twente (UT) celebrates its Golden Jubilee with an
international conference, focusing on the phenomenon of campus universities. How
did they come into existence? What philosophy lies behind a campus? What role
does landscaping play?
Examples drawn from across the world – including the USA, Europe and Asia
– will be presented. At the centre of the day lies the future of the UT
campus. The conference takes place at the UT and offers a very dynamic programme
in which participants will have the opportunity to experience many locations
across the UT’s renowned campus, providing the time and the space for
delegates to experience and reflect on the issues presented in the plenary
sessions.
We are delighted to be able to present the following
speakers:
- David Neuman master
planner of Stanford and Virginia University
- Adriaan Geuze landscape architect and director of West
8
- Ton Schaap
city
planner of Enschede
- Paul Benneworth
UT researcher in the field of universities and societal interaction
-
Martin de Jong

Handelsblad, publisher and expert in urban issues.
