Centre for Development Innovation (CDI) at Wageningen University and Research

Wageningen University & Research considers dialogue with society to be an essential aspect of its role as a knowledge institution. This platform serves as a meeting place with our staff members. The news item that Wageningen University & Research publishes weekly on the front page of the Saturday edition of the Volkskrant or NRC newspaper, is each time used to highlight a different topic from research at WUR. You can use this platform to respond to the subject and read extra information, such as relevant reports.

Research results only have an effect when they are applied within society. That is why Wageningen University & Research cooperates closely with companies, governments and civil society to ensure those results can provide value. We can turn this into a reality at the Wageningen Campus, as we can make our facilities available, help start-ups in their initial development and design solutions tailored to international issues.

WUR supports your personal development by offering you the opportunity to participate in various educational and training programmes. Together with your manager, you will decide what is important for your own development. Tailor-made programmes have been developed for example for managers who can participate in leadership courses. Specifically for professors, there is an education trajectory that they can follow.
