Studium Generale TU Delft - Critical Mass: Do we all have ADHD?

Studium Generale TU Delft

Studium Generale (SG) van de TU Delft biedt inspirerende programma’s op het snijvlak van wetenschap, techniek, kunst en maatschappij. Door middel van lezingen, debatten, films en performances worden bezoekers uitgedaagd tot verdieping, dialoog en verwondering.

Missie

Studium Generale creëert ruimte voor reflectie en kritisch denken, binnen én buiten de universiteit. De visie is dat academische vorming verder gaat dan alleen het verwerven van kennis: het draait ook om maatschappelijke betrokkenheid, ethische overwegingen en het vermogen om buiten bestaande kaders te denken.

De programma’s van SG zijn toegankelijk voor studenten, TU-medewerkers én andere geïnteresseerden. Iedereen met een nieuwsgierige geest is van harte welkom.
