HOW TO GOVERN THE GLOBE?

Effectively and just

Our lives are increasingly global, as we connect across the planet in countless ways. These connections create systemic changes that have different and unequal impacts in the world. They also happen faster and on a scale larger than our current international institutions and practices can handle. We urgently need more effective and legitimate ways to deal with the big global issues we face, like climate change. But how to govern the globe better?

On Monday March 11th, the Science Café will explore today’s complex, polycentric global governance and discuss some promising innovations with two of the leading experts in the field. Jan Aart Scholte (LEI), professor of Global Transformations and Governance Challenges, will introduce us to his holistic view on globalization and its governance and share his insights on the central question of the evening. Rakhyun Kim (UU) will explain the concepts of Earth System Governance. Within this project he analyzes the network of actors and their interactions in the world’s fragmented governance system, and studies the potential of ‘global goals’ as a steering mechanism in this web. Throughout the evening, Pessanha will spin his vinyl, immersing The Shamrock into atmospheres of the Global South.

Webinar leiderschap en personeelsontwikkeling in een krappe arbeidsmarkt

In 2024 kun je niet meer zo makkelijk aan personeel komen, ze behouden en motiveren als een paar jaar geleden. Alleen maar zwaaien met een grote zak geld is en voor veel bedrijven niet haalbaar, en ook niet wenselijk. Daarmee krijg en behoud je geen loyale en gemotiveerde mensen. En wat is er eigenlijk tegenwoordig nodig om mensen goed te laten functioneren?

In dit webinar hoor je hoe je:

  • Tijdig plant welke vacatures je de komende jaren verwacht te gaan krijgen en hoe je die gaat vervullen
  • Je medewerkers kunt motiveren en ontwikkelen, ongeacht leeftijd of positie
  • Het beste leiding geeft om het meeste uit je team te halen
  • Kunt zorgen dat je volledig voldoet aan wet en regelgeving rondom HR
  • Welke subsidies tot 25000 euro (en zonder eigen bijdrage!) voor bedrijven voorhanden zijn en hoe je die kunt aanvragen

Tijdens dit webinar is er voldoende ruimte voor jouw vragen.

Presentatie is in handen van Lizanne Jakobs. Ze is de oprichtster van Brilliant Work, meermaals verkozen tot beste coachings- en adviesbureau van Nederland voor het MKB. Dit 12-koppige team voert zeer veel gesubsidieerde trajecten uit op het gebied van bedrijfsgroei en personeelsontwikkeling. Lizanne is een veelgevraagd spreekster die op een entertainende manier complexe vraagstukken simpel kan uitleggen en veel ervaring heeft in het begeleiden van het MKB in dit soort trajecten.

Voor wie?

Ondernemers, directeuren, managers en HR medewerkers van bedrijven die nu 2-250 medewerkers hebben of dit komend jaar zullen behalen.

Datum en tijd:

26 februari

inloop 12.20 uur

aanvang 12.30 uur

einde 13.30-13.45 uur (afhankelijk van vragen)

INNOVATE AI MEETUP 2024

Kom naar deze INNOVATE Meetup en leer over de laatste innovaties op het gebied van AI. Innovators in health, high tech, energy en het MKB laten zien hoe zij AI gebruiken om het verschil te maken.

In 1950 bedacht Alan Turing de term Artificial Intelligence. Al sinds de jaren 90 wordt gewerkt aan specialistische toepassingen voor AI, bijvoorbeeld in big data anlyse of medische toepassingen. Vooral de laatste jaren heeft AI een immense vlucht genomen. Generatieve AI applicaties zoals Chat GPT of Midjourney hebben de technlogie voor een breed publiek toegankelijk gemaakt. We worden dagelijks bestookt met updates over AI en het lijkt haast wel alsof er iedere week een revolutionaire stap wordt gezet. The sky is the limit. Of toch niet? … Hoe zit het eigenlijk met ethische kant van deze nieuwe technologie?

In dit programma:

  1. Hoe gaat AI ons helpen borstkanker eerder te detecteren? Jaap Kroes, VP of AI @ Screenpoint Medical neemt ons mee in de ontwikkeling van het bedrijf dat hier grote stappen in aan het zetten is.
  2. Kan AI ons van Malaria af helpen? Marnix Vlot van TropIQ vertelt over hun AI-innovatie waarmee zij geuren analyseerden (ism Google en the Bill Gates Foundation) om muggen beter te weren.
  3. Hoe gebruiken Radboud Universiteit en netbeheerder Alliander AI om de energietransitie te versnellen? Tom Heskes, Radboud Universiteit vertelt over diverse projecten van het Alliander AI Lab.
  4. Hoe kan iedereen een Data Scientist worden, met behulp van AI? Erwin Folmer, lector applied data science & AI (HAN – Hogeschool Arnhem Nijmegen) wil AI ‘onthypen’ en inzetten zodat iedereen op een goede manier met data kan werken.
  5. Waarom is goede wet en regelgeving op AI zo belangrijk? Lotte van Elteren, docent AI aan Radboud Universiteit en promovendus @ Donders Centre for Cognition vertelt ons over de laatste ontwikkelingen.
  6. deze spreker wordt binnenkort bekend gemaakt!

Autism and ADHD – two sides of the same coin?

What do people with autism and ADHD have in common? Seemingly nothing, when judging by the stereotypes of a socially anxious introvert and a restless extrovert, which unfortunately still stick with these disorders. This might lead to the conclusion that they have a different origin. Fascinatingly, researchers have found that both neurodevelopmental disorders may be caused by similar changes in the brain and might thus be regarded as ‘two sides of the same coin’.

Annelies Spek (Autism Expertise Center) and Jan Buitelaar (Radboud University) will shed light on this topic in the Science Café on Monday, 5th of February. Annelies Spek is a clinical psychologist and expert of autism in adults. As a senior researcher she investigates autism and its intersections with other disorders. Jan Buitelaar is a psychiatrist and professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. In his research he uses neuroimaging and molecular methods to study ADHD and autism. In an open discussion (in Dutch), the two experts will explore the commonalities and differences of both disorders together with the audience. To calm down your brain again, the evening is accompanied by the soothing jazz of the Norman Samuels Trio.
