Wonderful to end the day with a delicious dinner and a relaxing boat trip on the Paterswoldsemeer. See you tomorrow everyone!

We will conclude today's #LK9 sessions with an answer on the #QOTD. Many people will probably agree with Philipp Hummer when he says:
"Living Knowledge not only connects people from all over the world, but also the past and the present."

Attention! For those joining the conference dinner: the bus leaves at 17:45 from the Ossenmarkt. 🚌

Please, make sure you are on time, so you do not miss our lovely dinner at the Rietschans. #LK9

Science and art, not everyone would expect that combination. Yet these themes went hand in hand during today's parallel sessions. Just look at how different all posters were at the poster session. They are both informative and beautiful 😉

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

That's it for today's #LK9 plenary session. Guided by Nick Nieuwenhuijsen, Rajesh, Lisa and Claudia talked us through topics related to distrust in science, which sparked interesting discussions. Today's #QOTD: what did you learn today and how could you use it?

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

Good morning! Welcome to day 2 of #LK9. We will continue with a plenary session about research with and for society in a world of contested expertise. With Marc Pauly, Rajesh Tandon, Lisa Herzog and Claudia Göbel. See you there!

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

#QOTD: Who did you meet today and why was that interesting?

We hope you all met some inspiring people today at #LK9 and have a good night’s rest. See you tomorrow!

A recap of the welcome reception of #LK9 at the A-Kerk!

Lovely music by Anamesa and a tour of the exhibition on Bittersweet Heritage by artist Aimee ter Burg.

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

How and why should you visualize your research projects? @LaureGarancher from The Ink Link, Saskia Visser and Jan-Philipp Bussmann talked about the power of illustrations. People were invited to illustrate one of their own projects as a way to start a conversation. #LK9

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

Inspiring talks by people from the Living Lab Network on indigenous resurgence on the West Coast of Canada. About land-based learning, eco-cultural restoration and art as an accessible form to reach people and create awareness. #LK9

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

A quick reminder that tonight the welcoming reception will take place at 17:00 in the Akerk (Akerkhof 2). Our university’s president Jouke de Vries will formally open our conference. 🎉

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

We had a promising opening today of #LK9 with an introduction of the Groningse Science Shops and a talk and discussion with Rowinda Appelman @CityDealKM and Kate Morris @campus_engage on setting up and getting the right people involved in community-based research.

[Living Knowledge GRO @LivingGro]

For those who are joining the dinner matching tonight, please get your dinner ticket before the lunch break ends. And please do come to the restaurant tonight, so we don’t have any empty seats. 🍽 😄
