About the Open Conversations
Open Conversations are among the flagship educational formats of the Circle U. Open Campus. They are hybrid events aimed at all Circle U. staff, students, external partners, and the wider public.
Open Conversations foster interdisciplinary exchange across Circle U.'s thematic areas. The topics addressed are highly relevant to students and encourage critical reflection on pressing global challenges, European values, and/or the role of universities in a world in transition.
With a strong emphasis on student engagement and diverse, inclusive dialogue, Open Conversations bring together emerging and experienced speakers of different ages, backgrounds, and perspectives.
