The Stevin Centre is a part of the interdisciplinary Research Institute CLUE+ of the Vrije Universiteit and participates in one of the major research themes of CLUE+: ‘Knowledge in context’. CLUE+ is the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam interfaculty research institute for Culture, Cognition, History and Heritage. It promotes Humanities-inspired research of the most pressing societal challenges of today, from migration to multiculturalism and climate change. Many have benefited from it, through activity funds and seed money, Early Career funds or fellowships. Thanks to this, CLUE+ has successfully ended a first term with a very positive, international assessment. It is now time to define the aims and actions for the next five years.

You are welcome to contribute.
