On the 16th of March 2023, Scientists For Future Wageningen, CSPS and W*O*L*F* organised a symposium: ‘Mapping fossil ties, a symposium – Observing, understanding and problematizing the relationships between Dutch Universities and Big Oil’.
We gave a workshop and introduced the collaborative research project to map the relationships between Dutch universities and the fossil fuel industry. The project was received with great enthusiasm and support, which gave us much motivation!
The presentations by Brigitte Wear (researcher and writer at The Jester and student of Wageningen University) and Vatan Hüzeir (researcher-activist, advisor in climate change & energy, PhD-candidate on climate activism, director Changerism, chair Fossielvrij NL) were very inspiring and informative on how to approach researching fossil ties.
