SUMMARY:DESIGNING FOR BELONGING Reimagining Cultural Spaces Where All Minds Thrive - Live Conference
DESCRIPTION:What does it take to move from spaces that accommodate neurodivergent people to spaces that are genuinely shaped by them? \n\n\n\n\nDESIGNING FOR BELONGING Reimagining Cultural Spaces Where All Minds Thrive\n\nWhat does it mean for a space to truly belong to everyone? \nNot just to welcome but to have been shaped by the full range of minds\, bodies\, and ways of being that make up our communities. \nNot just to open its doors wider but to ask whether the building itself was designed for the imaginary norm\, and what it would take to change that. \nThis conference starts from a simple but radical premise: belonging is not a feeling that happens to people. It is something we design. \nFor cultural spaces\, museums\, libraries\, community centres\, urban regeneration sites\, and the people who work within them\, this is both a design challenge and a justice question. Approximately one in five people is neurodivergent. They are in our audiences\, our communities\, our organisations. They are often present\, rarely centred\, and almost never co-creating the spaces that claim to serve them. \nDesigning for Belonging brings together urban regenerators\, cultural professionals\, social innovators\, educators\, and neurodivergent practitioners to explore what genuine neuroinclusion looks like when it moves beyond compliance and into culture. When it stops being an add-on and starts being the foundation. \nWe will work through four interconnected themes.\nFrom Presence to Power \nWho is in the room and who gets to shape what happens there? \nThere is a version of inclusion that counts bodies and ticks boxes and there is another version that fundamentally changes who holds creative and strategic power. This theme explores the difference between the two. We will look at co-design as a redistribution of authorship and what it looks like when neurodivergent people are not invited to review decisions already made\, but are present from the very first question. We will examine neurodivergent leadership in cultural organisations\, the structural conditions that make it possible\, and what institutions need to unlearn before genuine power-sharing can take root. \nThe question at the heart of this theme is not “Are we including enough people?” It is “Who is actually building this?” \nThe Body in the Space \nBelonging is felt before it is thought. \nBefore a visitor reads a single word of wall text\, their nervous system has already made a judgment about whether this space is safe\, legible\, and meant for them. Lighting\, acoustics\, predictability\, sensory load\, the presence or absence of sound\, these are not aesthetic choices. They are access decisions\, made by default or by design. \nThis theme takes the nervous system seriously as a design brief. We will explore what it means to create spaces that support regulation as well as engagement\, that offer both stimulation and refuge\, that honour the fact that people process the world through different portals. Drawing on sensory design\, trauma-informed practice\, and the lived expertise of neurodivergent communities\, we will ask: what does a space need to feel like in order for every mind to genuinely thrive within it? \nStories That Reflect Us \nWhose stories get told and in what form\, at what pace\, through whose voice? \nCultural programming has long claimed to represent communities while reflecting back a surprisingly narrow version of human experience. Neurodivergent lives\, when they appear at all\, tend to appear as tragedy or triumph\, rarely as the full\, complex\, contradictory\, joyful\, frustrated\, creative reality that they are. \nThis theme is about narrative justice in cultural spaces. We will explore how representation shapes belonging. It is not just who appears in the story\, but how the story is structured\, what formats it takes\, how much sensory and cognitive flexibility it allows. We will look at what it means to build programming that does not just feature neurodivergent voices but is genuinely shaped by them in its rhythm\, its register\, its assumptions about how meaning gets made. \nBecause a space that does not reflect you cannot fully belong to you. \nBelonging as Infrastructure \nBelonging is not a programme. It is not an awareness month or an access audit or a well-intentioned policy statement. It is an organisational culture\, a set of practices\, a long-term commitment to relationship and it requires infrastructure. \nThis theme looks at what systemic neuroinclusion actually demands of cultural organisations: how it shapes hiring and leadership\, how it lives in feedback loops and evaluation frameworks\, how it changes the nature of community partnership. We will examine what it takes to move from isolated moments of good practice to an organisational ecology in which neuroinclusion is not one team’s responsibility but everyone’s — woven into how decisions are made\, how spaces are evaluated\, and how trust with neurodivergent communities is built and sustained over time. \nThe question here is not “What have we done?” but “What have we become?” \nAn Invitation \nThis conference is for the people who sense that their institutions are capable of more – more honesty about who they serve\, more courage in who they involve\, more imagination in what belonging could actually look like. \nIt is for urban regenerators asking what it means to build communities that hold difference at their centre. For cultural professionals who want to move from good intentions to genuine transformation. For social innovators who understand that inclusion without power-sharing is just a friendlier version of the status quo. \nBring your practice\, your questions\, and your willingness to be changed by what you hear. \nBelonging\, after all\, is something we build together. \nWho is this for? \n\nCultural professionals and programmers ready to move beyond inclusion as a checkbox.\nUrban regenerators who want communities\, not just spaces.\nSocial innovators asking harder questions about who gets to shape the spaces we share.\nNeurodivergent practitioners and advocates who want to co-create\, not just consult.\nEducators\, researchers\, and policymakers working at the intersection of culture\, access\, and belonging.\n\nThis event is for people who believe that belonging is designed\, and who want to be part of designing it.

SUMMARY:When hormones meet neurodivergence - A story of sensitivity\, intensity and hormonal plot twists from puberty to menopause
DESCRIPTION:Hormonal shifts can feel more intense for many neurodivergent women. \nHormonal changes are often discussed in relation to puberty\, menstrual cycles\, perimenopause and menopause. Neurodivergence is often discussed in terms of cognition\, emotion\, sensory processing\, masking and navigating environments that were not designed for neurodivergent people. \nBut for many neurodivergent women\, these experiences are deeply interconnected. Hormonal changes can affect mood\, focus\, sleep\, sensory sensitivity\, emotional regulation and nervous system stability – the same areas that may already be more sensitive in neurodivergence. \nThis practical session will explore the hormonal life of neurodivergent women\, from puberty to menopause\, bringing together perspectives from clinical psychology and functional medicine. \nTogether\, we’ll explore why hormonal changes can feel amplified\, including: \n\nPhysical factors – hormone fluctuations\, brain chemistry\, nervous system regulation\, sleep\, sensory sensitivity\, stress physiology\, digestion and energy\nPsycho-social factors – late diagnosis\, masking\, identity\, emotional regulation\, self-understanding\, relationships\, work\, overwhelm and the impact of not knowing you were neurodivergent earlier in life\n\nWe’ll also look at what can help: \n\nUnderstanding personal patterns across hormonal phases and life stages\nSupporting emotional regulation\, self-compassion and communication\nReducing sensory\, cognitive and emotional load where possible\nSupporting sleep\, nourishment\, nervous system regulation and overall capacity\n\nThe session will combine accessible science\, clinical experience and practical strategies throughout\, while acknowledging the complexity and individuality of neurodivergent women’s experiences. Expect an integrated and neurodiversity-affirming discussion focused on making sense of patterns\, reducing shame and exploring supportive approaches across both the mind and body. \n  \nPresented by Sally Mounir and Scotti McLaren – in collaboration with Neurodiversity Belgium \nSally is a licensed psychotherapist and registered member of the International Council of Psychotherapists in the UK. Her work is shaped by a multicultural background and a strong commitment to creating a safe\, respectful and non-judgemental space for clients. She takes a personalised\, holistic approach\, supporting people to better understand themselves and build practical tools for emotional wellbeing\, self-trust and growth. \nScotti is a Geneva-based functional medicine practitioner with a clinical focus on neurodivergence and women’s hormonal health. Her academic and clinical training spans neuroscience\, psychology\, nutritional science\, personalised nutrition and functional medicine. Known for her investigative approach\, Scotti connects systemic and cellular insights with everyday experience\, helping make sense of complex patterns in women’s brain\, body and hormonal health.

SUMMARY:Every Brain Is Beautiful: Neurodiversity\, Equity & Belonging at Work
DESCRIPTION:As part of Neurodiversity Pride 2026\, Neurodiversity Belgium invites you to an online presentation exploring what neurodiversity means in real life especially in workplaces\, teams\, and everyday systems.\n\nThis session moves beyond basic awareness and asks a more practical question:\n\nWhat changes when we stop seeing neurodivergent people as problems to manage\, and start looking at the environments that create unnecessary barriers to equity\, participation\, and belonging?\n\nDrawing on lived experience\, workplace examples\, and evidence-informed thinking\, this presentation will explore:\n\n• what neurodiversity means beyond labels\n• why “talent\, not defect” matters\n• how communication\, flexibility\, predictability\, and psychological safety shape participation\n• why inclusion is not just about individual accommodations\, but about better design for everyone\n• how workplaces can move from goodwill to meaningful structural change\n\nThis session is designed for anyone interested in neurodiversity\, equity\, inclusion\, leadership\, workplace culture\, advocacy\, and creating environments where different brains can genuinely belong.\nThis webinar will be delivered in English\, with French subtitles available.\n\nOnline event \nHosted by: Swiss Pride Team and NDB in collaboration with Neurodiverse Brains in the Workplace\nContact: events@neurodiversity.be\n\nRegister here: https://neurodiversity.be/events/every-brain-is-beautiful-neurodiversity-equity-belonging-at-work-12-june/\n\nFollow us on LinkedIn:\n(NDB) Neurodiversity Belgium\nNeurodiverse Brains in the Workplace\nNeurodiverse Brains in the Workplace Version française courte — flyer / réseaux sociaux\nEvery Brain Is Beautiful : neurodiversité\, équité et appartenance au travail\nChaque cerveau est beau : neurodiversité\, équité et appartenance au travail\nDans le cadre de la Neurodiversity Pride 2026\, Neurodiversity Belgium propose une présentation en ligne sur ce que signifie la neurodiversité dans la vie réelle — notamment dans les milieux professionnels\, les équipes\, la communication\, le leadership et les systèmes du quotidien.\nCette session invite à dépasser la simple sensibilisation pour poser une question essentielle : que changeons-nous lorsque nous cessons de vouloir « réparer » les personnes neurodivergentes\, et que nous commençons plutôt à concevoir des environnements plus équitables\, où différents cerveaux peuvent participer\, contribuer et appartenir pleinement ? Ce webinaire sera proposé en anglais\, avec des sous-titres en français. \nOrganisé par Neurodiversity Belgium\nEn collaboration avec Neurodiverse Brains in the Workplace\nÉvénement en ligne — plus d’informations à venir.

SUMMARY:ND in the body - The current research on neurodivergence & physical health
DESCRIPTION:What if neurodivergence is as much about the body as it is about the brain? \nFor decades\, neurodivergence has largely been discussed through the lens of behaviour\, cognition and mental health. But emerging research is increasingly exploring whether many neurodivergent experiences may also involve differences in whole-body regulation – including the nervous system\, immune system\, hormones and connective tissue. \nThis session will explore what current research says\, where the evidence is strongest\, and which areas remain emerging and debated. \nResearch areas we’ll explore: \n– Nervous system regulation – autonomic function\, sensory processing\, stress physiology and POTS\n– Immune system signalling – inflammation\, histamine\, mast cells and neuroimmune communication\n– Hormones and neuroendocrinology – PMS\, PMDD\, peri/menopause and hormonal sensitivity in ND people\n– Connective tissue and hypermobility – EDS\, chronic pain\, proprioception and emerging overlap research \nWe’ll also explore: \n– Why burnout may be physical as well as psychological\n– Why symptoms often cluster across different body systems\n– Why many ND people spend years moving between medical specialties\n– What researchers still don’t fully understand \nExpect a science-focused but accessible session bridging neuroscience\, immunology\, endocrinology and systems biology\, with practical explanations and real-world context throughout. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the emerging brain-body science of neurodivergence\, how different areas of research are beginning to connect and why many researchers are increasingly approaching ND through a more integrated lens. \n  \nPresented by Scotti McLaren\, Investigative Health – in collaboration with Neurodiversity Belgium \nScotti is a Geneva-based functional medicine practitioner. She specialises in brain and hormonal health\, with a focus on neurodivergence and menopause. \nHer academic background includes an MSc in Psychology & Neuroscience of Mental Health (King’s College London)\, a BSc in Nutritional Science (Middlesex University) and a diploma in Personalised Nutrition Practice (CNELM). \nKnown for her investigative approach\, Scotti uses functional medicine to connect systemic and cellular insights with everyday experience.

SUMMARY:Gelukkig Gelabeld: ND Pride Tilburg
DESCRIPTION:Dit jaar vieren wij voor de tweede keer op rij Neurodiversity Pride Day en de unieke kwaliteiten van neurodivergente mensen\, zoals autisme\, ADHD\, dyslexie en vele andere neurologische verschillen. Hoe zorgen we ervoor dat neurodiversiteit meer erkenning krijgt? Op 16 juni organiseren Gemeente Tilburg\, RADAR\, AutiRoze en de Bibliotheek de LocHal een bijeenkomst\, waarbij we leren ons te navigeren door de uitdagingen en kansen rondom neurodiversiteit. \nTrots om neurodivergent te zijn\nNeurodivergentie gaat over verschillende manieren van hoe en brein kan werken. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan het dyslectische brein\, het ADHD-brein\, het autistische brein en het prikkelgevoelige brein. Die verschillen zorgen ervoor dat mensen op verschillende manieren denken en leren. Er bestaat geen brein dat ‘standaard’ is. Er is geen ‘juiste’ manier van denken\, leren en informatie verwerken. Elk brein heeft zijn eigen uitdagingen en kwaliteiten. En daar mag je trots op zijn! \nMilou Deelen\nSpreker van de avond is Milou Deelen\, journalist\, schrijver en spreker. In Gelukkig gelabeld onderzoekt journalist Milou Deelen wat het betekent om een psychische diagnose te krijgen. Na het ervaren van paniekaanvallen en het ontvangen van diagnoses zoals ADHD en PTSS\, besloot Milou de diepte in te gaan met de vraag: Wat betekenen die labels eigenlijk voor ons? \nIdentiteit\nWat doen deze labels met je identiteit?

SUMMARY:Youth Keynote - Emily Nicol
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to welcome Emily Nicol as the Youth Keynote speaker for Neurodiversity Pride Day 2025\, a celebration that highlights the voices\, talents\, and experiences of neurodivergent people worldwide. \nEmily Nicol is a passionate advocate for neurodiversity\, bringing both lived experience and deep personal insight to her work. Diagnosed with Dyspraxia\, Emily has developed a unique way of approaching challenges\, often seeing connections and solutions that might be missed by others. Her ability to think creatively and holistically has been a strength throughout her studies and her contributions to various projects. \nEmily’s journey through education wasn’t always easy. Like many neurodivergent people\, she faced barriers in traditional learning environments\, but she also found ways to adapt and thrive. She discovered that by advocating for the supports she needed—whether that meant structured schedules\, clear communication\, or quiet spaces for focused work—she could excel and bring her best self to every opportunity. \nIn her own words\, Emily believes that “diverse ways of thinking—whether in the workplace or in an academic environment—lead to stronger\, more innovative outcomes.” Her dedication to fostering inclusive spaces is evident not only in her work but also in her ongoing efforts to empower other neurodivergent individuals. She brings a thoughtful\, systems-oriented perspective to everything she does\, and her attention to detail has been a cornerstone of her success. \nEmily’s keynote will speak to the importance of embracing every individual’s strengths while recognizing that each of us may need different forms of support to fully thrive. Her message embodies the spirit of Neurodiversity Pride Day: a celebration of differences that enrich our communities and make us stronger together. \nWe’re grateful to Emily Nicol for sharing her story and for being an inspiring voice for young people navigating their own neurodiversity journeys. Her openness\, creativity\, and resilience remind us that inclusion is about more than just policies—it’s about creating spaces where every person feels seen\, supported\, and valued. \n\nOn this page\, we will share the link to the talk\, and add the embedded version. The talk will premiere on June 16th\, before this date\, there is no link or embedded version yet.

SUMMARY:Achievement unlocked: the role of video games in the neurodivergent life
DESCRIPTION:Experiencing life can be a complicated affair for neurodivergent people. Social environments may be too exhausting\, sensory overload too intense\, communication and other means of interaction with people too taxing. Thus\, many of us escape into the confines of our solitary special interests and activies through which we learn about the world around us. One of such activities is gaming. In my speech\, being a neurodivergent gamer myself\, I want to discuss various ways in which video games may influence and even enrich the life of a neurodivergent person\, teach them a variety of necessary everyday skills\, and even serve as a sort of therapy for them. \n\nTopic: ND Pride Day 2025 – Achievement unlocked: the role of video games in the neurodivergent life by Sviatosslav Piven (Ukraine)\nTime: Jun 16\, 2025 14:00 Amsterdam Timezone | 15:00 Kyiv Timezone.\nJoin Zoom Meeting: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/9086032868?pwd=RjhzdnNVWHRtVFErUEt1eUZ0QXhaZz09&omn=82730045800\nMeeting ID: 908 603 2868 | Passcode: Myp5cm\n\n

SUMMARY:Neurodiversity Pride Day Viering in het Utrecht Science Park
DESCRIPTION:Viering Neurodiversity Pride Day \nNeurodiversity Pride Day in het Utrecht Science Park 🎉 \n\n\nMaandag 16 juni 2025 is het Neurodiversity Pride Day. Op deze jaarlijkse wereldwijde viering door en voor neurodivergente mensen en andere geïnteresseerden\, organiseren we tussen 11.00 en 14.00 uur een symposium met diverse sprekers en workshops. Vier neurodiversiteit* met ons mee en meld je snel aan om zeker te zijn van een plekje bij de workshop van je keuze. \n\n\n\n\nRekening houden met neurodiversiteit binnen organisaties is een belangrijk thema: in ieder team bestaat een enorme variatie personen met een mix van gevoeligheden en talenten. Hoe verhouden de talenten en gevoeligheden die iedereen meebrengt zich tot elkaar? Hoe gaan we daarmee om? Iedereen zit ergens op het spectrum van neurodiversiteit en dat vraagt om aanpassingen. Aanpassing in hoe mensen het werk doen\, maar ook in tolerantie en begrip voor elkaar. En dat gaat niet vanzelf\, daar moet je echt iets voor doen. De eerste stap is bewustwording van neurodiversiteit en daar elkaar in leren herkennen\, helpen en groeien. \nDaarom werkt Netwerk USP Inclusief aan een neurodiversiteitsbeweging in de aangesloten organisaties (Hogeschool Utrecht\, UMC Utrecht en Universiteit Utrecht). Daarmee wil het netwerk de inclusie met betrekking tot neurodiversiteit op de werkvloer verbeteren. We richten ons op het creëren van bewustwording en het vormen van een community rondom het thema neurodiversiteit. Het symposium op Neurodiversity Pride Day draagt hier aan bij. \n\n\n\n\nProgramma\n\n\n\n\nJe kunt je in het aanmeldformulier per onderdeel aanmelden:\n10.45 – 11.00 uur: Inloop\n11.00 – 11.10 uur: Welkom en opening (ENG)\n11.10 – 12.00 uur: Keynote (ENG) door Dr. Mateusz Platos\n12.00 – 12.30 uur: Lunch break\, er is gratis linzensoep aanwezig\n12.30 – 13.30 uur: Keuzeworkshops\n13.40 – 14.00 uur: Afsluiting (ENG) \n\n\n\n\nKeynote (ENG)\nDe keynote wordt verzorgd door Dr. Mateusz Platos\, Universitair Docent Psychologie aan de Faculteit Sociale Wetenschappen van de Universiteit Utrecht. Hij bestudeert het welzijn en de ondersteuning van neurodivergente personen in verschillende levensgebieden. De focus in zijn keynote ligt op de werkplek. \n  \nKeuzeworkshops\nJe kunt je via het aanmeldformulier aanmelden voor 1 van de volgende workshops: \n\n‘Hooggevoeligheid op de werkvloer’ door Susanne van Neerbos (HU) en Silviana Vincke (UU) vanuit geleefde ervaring (NL):\nTijdens deze sessie bekijken we samen het thema ‘hooggevoeligheid’. Wat is het eigenlijk en hoe kan het je leven beïnvloeden? Waar kun je rekening mee houden\, bijvoorbeeld in je baan of in je sociale contacten? We nemen je mee vanuit onze eigen geleefde ervaring en er is voldoende ruimte voor het uitwisselen van ervaringen en tips. Maximaal 25 personen\, vol = vol.\n‘Neurodivergente internationals in Nederland’ door Emma England (UU) vanuit geleefde ervaring (ENG):Neurodivergente mensen passen zich aan de sociale normen en gewoonten van de plaats waar we wonen\, studeren en werken aan. Wanneer we emigreren\, veranderen deze normen en kan de impact ernstig zijn. Geen ordelijke wachtrij in een winkel of het poldermodel gebruiken tijdens vergaderingen kan een al overbelaste emmer aanzienlijk verzwaren. Dan zijn er nog de verschillen in gezondheidszorg\, het krijgen van (in)formele ondersteuning\, het vinden van een gemeenschap en het bewustzijn van neurodiversiteit. Deze workshop verkent deze verschillen en biedt een veilige ruimte voor uitwisseling en praktische tips. Maximaal 25 personen\, vol=vol.\n‘Mindful Walk workshop’ door TNO Utrecht (ENG):\nSamen met Mindfulrun.nl organiseert TNO een Mindful walk. Het doel is om beter te ademen\, met als resultaat meer energie. Tijdens de begeleide mindfulness oefeningen leer je om beter te ademen en aanwezig te blijven in het moment. Iedereen is welkom\, ook mensen in een rolstoel. Neem je wandelschoenen mee. We kijken ernaar uit om je daar te zien! Voor verdere vragen over de workshop kun je mailen naar neurodiversity@tno.nl. Maximaal 15 personen\, vol=vol.\n‘De impact van takiwātanga op autistic pride in Nieuw-Zeeland’ door Dr. Nicolina Newcombe (ENG):\nDr. Nicolina Newcombe woont in Aotearoa Nieuw-Zeeland en is autistisch. Ze behaalde een PhD in Education aan de University of Waikato en werkt momenteel als Inclusion Advisor. Nicolina neemt je tijdens een interactief gesprek mee in de unieke zienswijze van de Māori op autisme en welke invloed dit heeft op de autistic pride. Je wordt uitgedaagd om jezelf en anderen te bekijken door de Māori lens. Maximaal 25 personen\, vol=vol.\n‘Een integrale benadering voor inclusie van neurodiversiteit op de werkvloer’ door Rosalie Ekstein (NL):\nRosalie Ekstein neemt je mee in de wereld van neurodivergentie. Van zienswijzen tot terminologie\, naar praktische evidence based handvatten voor neuroinclusie op de werkvloer. Rosalie laat zien dat inclusie intersectioneel is; wanneer je aan de slag gaat met inclusie voor de éne groep (neurodivergenten) kan dit het beste gelijk met aandacht voor álle leden van gemarginaliseerde doelgroepen. Ook komen huidige ontwikkelingen zoals wet- en regelgeving aan bod. Inclusie is immers niet slechts een ideologie\, het is een wettelijke verplichting én nog eens ontzettend raadzaam in tijden van krapte op de arbeidsmarkt. Tezamen kunnen wij meer ruimte maken voor hen waar nu nog weinig ruimte voor is. Want wij zijn niet gelijk\, maar wel gelijkwaardig. Geen maximaal aantal personen.\n\n‘Divergentie in een natuurbeleving: een inclusieve verkenning van buiten- en binnenwereld’ door Cassandra Barkman (UMC Utrecht) vanuit ervaringsdeskundigheid (NL):Tijdens deze workshop maken we kennis met de natuur als inspiratiebron\, leermeester en spiegel. Vanuit de toegepaste ecopsychologie verkennen we hoe natuurlijke omgevingen ons kunnen helpen bij zelfinzicht\, herstel en het waarderen van verschil. We gaan niet de natuur in om iets te doen\, maar om te ontvangen. Divergentie – het afwijken van de norm\, het zoeken van nieuwe routes – is in de natuur geen probleem\, maar een voorwaarde voor veerkracht en biodiversiteit. Zo kijken we ook naar neurodiversiteit: niet als iets dat opgelost hoeft te worden\, maar als iets dat ruimte en bedding verdient. Via drie laagdrempelige oefeningen – kijken\, voelen en zintuiglijk waarnemen – laten we de omgeving ons iets vertellen. Jij bepaalt zelf hoe je deelneemt: stil of in gesprek\, zittend of lopend\, alleen of samen. Alles mag meebewegen met jouw ritme. Maximaal 25 personen\, vol=vol.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraktische informatie\n\n\nDatum: maandag 16 juni 2025 van 11.00 – 14.00 uur.\nLocatie: Utrecht Science Park\, Hogeschool Utrecht\, Padualaan 97\, hoorcollegezaal PL97-1001.\nLunch: wij zorgen voor linzensoep. Neem je ter aanvulling je eigen lunch en drinken mee?\nKosten: gratis.\n\nVoor wie: deze viering is voor iedereen die werkzaam is bij een organisatie in (of verbonden aan) het Utrecht Science Park; medewerkers\, leidinggevenden\, (HR-)professionals en andere geïnteresseerden. Ook van harte welkom als je nog niet veel weet van het thema neurodiversiteit! \nToegankelijkheid: de locatie is rolstoeltoegankelijk en er is een rustruimte aanwezig. Kunnen we nog ergens anders rekening mee houden? Laat het ons weten bij je aanmelding\, dan kijken we samen met jou naar de mogelijkheden. \nAanmelden (verplicht): je kunt je aanmelden tot en met vrijdag 13 juni 2025. \n\n\n\n
