Uni-visions: what is your vision of studying in 2075?
What is your vision of the future? What will it be like to study at Leiden University in 2075? We invite you to enter Uni-visions. Bring your vision of studying at Leiden University in 2075 to life.
As we celebrate our 450th anniversary this year, we’re not only looking back, we’re also looking ahead. That is why we are launching the creative project Uni-visions. Enter our competition and bring your ideas to life. A drawing, a piece of writing, a film, a poem, a photo, AI art, a painting, a piece of music, a dance, a song... the sky’s the limit. Anyone (16+) can enter. All you need to do is share your vision of the future.
Three winners will get a unique opportunity to bring their work to life and put it on show in Leiden and The Hague.
Rector magnificus Hester Bijl: ‘What will studying be like in the future? We don’t yet know – which is why we are asking today’s generation to share their vision of generations to come.’
