"The TIC course is a unique opportunity to test how interdisciplinary skills and knowledge can contribute to finding a solution to major societal and global challenges."
dr. Lorena Sosa
Course coordinator
"Stepping outside of the classroom and your core discipline to address a societal problem is probably the best learning experience one can have at any University. In the TIC course you do so, while also interacting with students from different faculties, professionals, and civil organisations. A unique learning opportunity!"
dr. Dani Heesterbeek
Teacher for OneHealth
"I look forward to guiding participants in their analysis of complex, societal problems and to see how they bring in their own expertise to contribute to an interdisciplinary problem-solving process within TIC."
dr. Yolanda van Beek
Course coordinator
"In the TIC course you not only learn by working together with students from other disciplines, but you also learn how to apply knowledge from your own discipline to current complex social issues. The Dynamics of Youth theme aims to involve youth in achieving the 'sustainable development goals'; these goals concern their future and your own!"
Jenna Spitzer
Teacher for Green Teens
"In the TIC course, we do not only identify problems, but also try to do something about them. I am curious to see the solutions students come up with and the process they go through to get there."
dr. Vinicius Coscioni
Teacher for Migration
"Beyond the walls of the university lies a world filled with complex problems waiting to be solved. As academics, we must be willing to get our feet muddy."
Rahmat Riyadi
Teacher for Investing in the Future
"In the course we push the boundaries of transformative innovation, our collaborative spirit fuels through interdisciplinary research that aims to drive meaningful change toward a sustainable future."
dr. Liping Dai
Teacher for Green Teens
“In the TIC course, you not only collaborate with students from various disciplines but also gain a deeper understanding of how to apply your own expertise to address the complex, interconnected social issues we face today. This collaborative approach is essential for creating solutions that are both innovative and effective.”
Paul Schöpfer
Course coordinator
"Interdisciplinary work and community-engaged learning are vital for creating inclusive and sustainable solutions to global challenges."
