Theme lustrum edition Duurzaam Doen: Transformation towards a Healthy and Sustainable City
Duurzaam Doen is the annual event at which Utrecht University of Applied Sciences shows with concrete examples how it works with partners in the region towards a sustainable and healthy society. The theme of this fifth edition is: 'Transformation towards a Healthy and Sustainable City'. The Healthy and Sustainable City symbolises Utrecht's integral approach to sustainability: a balance between economic growth, the environment and people's well-being.

The conference is the closing day of SURE2013 (Sustainable Innovation in the Utrecht Region): the innovation week for frontrunners in sustainable development in the Utrecht region.
