After an eventful afternoon filled with many inspiring impact cases, WUR is glad to announce its new Impact Award winners! The anticipation had been building for weeks, but yesterday it was finally time to announce this year’s winners: the jury Impact Award winner is the Autonomous Greenhouse Challenge! And with over 1100 voters this year, the audience award was presented to the WCDI Seed Systems Thematic Cluster!

During the event the 5 nominees got the chance to pitch their project in 3 minutes. A short word by rector Carolien Kroeze followed: ‘With a future that is uncertain, we need responsible changemakers. The nominees present a perfect example of such responsible changemakers.’ The new WUR strategic plan has an even stronger focus on societal impact, the Impact Award is a wonderful way to appreciate the extra steps taken towards achieving impact and to emphasize the importance of making an impact.
