Het Wereldbeeld is a meeting place for the exchange of ideas about the relations between the natural sciences and the humanities, between nature and culture. It is an initiative of faculty and students of the University of Amsterdam and Leidenhoven College. It is open to everyone who is interested in engaging in critical thinking and discussion about these topics. You can read more about this topic in our Manifesto.
We organize a monthly meeting where a prominent scientist, journalist, writer, politician or businessperson shares her or his vision on a particular topic. The main part of the evening, though, takes place in the form of the open discussion that follows. Gatherings with an invited speaker are alternated with informal meetings where the discussion is led by one of our members.
