Fontys for a sustainable society

Fontys signed the SDG Charter in 2018, endorsing the importance of integrating sustainability into education, research and business operations. We want to prepare our students for their role in society, which requires people who put the sustainability of our economy and thus the future of our planet first! Sustainabilitity is the theme of the first Fontys for society event in 2024.

Focus and pride

From 2024 onwards, we will organize the annual Fontys for society event for and by Fontys from a joint focus and pride. During this event, our Fontys community of students, employees and work field partners will come together and show how Fontys education and research contributes to a sustainable, vital and inclusive society.

A stage where Fontys for society and collaborative initiatives come together and form a showcase for all the wonderful results of education and research with social impact. Students, staff and field inspire each other with examples and stories and encourage interaction, learning from each other and connecting. The event invites networking and new collaborations.

Themes at the event

Prepare for an inspiring educational environment with six areas, two event plazas and auditorium. An open campus where meeting is central and where cross-pollination leads to innovation, experimentation and enterprise. The ideal place for the first Fontys for Society event with 5,000 visitors. Each building hosts one of the following knowledge themes and together they form a diversity of vibes.
