Betweter Festival 2024

Filosopher Tim Fransen brings hope in times of crisis, The Mediameiden talk with organisation scientist Kim Loyens about effective measures against transgressive behaviour on the work floor, the Amsterdam band WIES serves a surprising style of raw Dutch pop, and comedian Lisa Ostermann puts the sexy back in being nice. Daniëlle Zawadi writes poetry about what it means to be young, legal scientist Jessica Dorsey talks about the dark role of algorithms on the battlefield, movie scientist Dan Hassler-Forest offers three insightful movie lectures, while psychiatry professor Jim van Os and spiritual care professor Gaby Jacobs argue for more attention to meaning in life. And songwriter Roufaida creates an enchanting pop universe with North-African influences.

Furthermore, there are countless scientific experiments and art installations, in both Dutch and English. Here you can test how much risk you dare to take when trying to win, and when you consider news to be reliable.

Betweter Festival is organised by Utrecht University. Its main partners are UMC Utrecht, HKU University of the Arts Utrecht and Utrecht University of Applied Sciences.
