Together with prominent scientists, scholars and artists, the students taking part in this program, jointly explore and experiment with how human and non-human lives are currently roaming the coastlines and deltas of Maputo, Rio de Janeiro, Hong Kong and the Netherlands. This unique collaboration at top universities in four cities around the world, hereby invites students to share their interest in participating in this programme.
The title for this year is The Lives of Deltas: A More-Than-Human-Studies Lab. The theme for 2026 is The Earth is Thinking All Along....
