Are you a changemaker ready for ESOF2022 the first hybrid – onsite and online – interdisciplinary, science-driven conference? We are eager to share with you our full programme of diverse and cross-cutting sessions that will be part of the scientific programme centred on the theme of Crossing Borders, Engaged Science, Resilient Societies.
Although the programme of ESOF2022 is still evolving, it will feature approximately 120 scientific sessions and 60 (e)poster sessions, a great exhibition in the Pieterskerk, and different keynote speaker for each of the seven tracks, e.g., Ben Feringa as keynote speaker in the Space for Science track.
Interesting highlights
Besides seven keynote speakers, we will also stage two plenary sessions addressing current topics debated by international panel members with different perspectives: one plenary will be about Sustainable Cities and the other will address Living in a World with Pandemics. In addition, Young Academy Leiden (YAL) will organise special workshops for early-career researchers related to the track Sustainable Academic Careers and you can attend special sessions and field trips within the Science and Business track, organised by the University of Applied Sciences. These highlights represent just a sample of what awaits you at ESOF2022. If you’re interested in learning more about all seven tracks, look here or use the track filter in the programme schedule calendar.
ESOF2022 is a state-of-the-art hybrid conference
ESOF2022 is an interdisciplinary, hybrid conference designed for anyone with a curious mind, from leading scientists, and early-stage researchers, to policymakers and science and technology communicators no matter where they may be. This is because you have the option to attend the conference onsite (in person) in Leiden, the Netherlands and/or online.
Nearly all onsite content will be available online via our state-of-the-art virtual conference platform so anyone anywhere can attend all online content, all live-streamed sessions, 60 e-poster sessions, as well as meet your next collaborator at open networking events inside the virtual platform.
Three Historical Venues in Leiden
Onsite you will be hosted by the beautiful old city of Leiden, the Netherlands, becoming part of its history connected to freedom and academic excellence. Sessions will take place in three historical venues located in the centre of Leiden. You can visit a great exhibition with EC presence, live poster sessions, and special events in the renowned 900-years-old Pieterskerk (church). You will enjoy the Kamerlingh Onnes Building used for various sessions and the beautiful Stadsgehoorzaal (concert hall) will host the opening ceremony, the keynote addresses, and several sponsored sessions (Elsevier, Johnson&Johnson).
Public Engagement Event
Onsite visitors can also take part in public outreach programs throughout the city, such as the 365-year-round programme of the European City of Science, called Leiden2022, and the European Science in the City Festival. Both connect the general public with technology, art, and craftsmanship.
Don’t miss this opportunity to be at the epicentre of groundbreaking interdisciplinary conversations that will contribute to future scientific discoveries and thought-provoking discussions that could revolutionise societies across the world.
