Thematic communities
Deepen your knowledge in specific subject area
KIVI's thematic communities give you the chance to focus in groups on a specific goal and topic
Some communities act as specialised knowledge centres where you can deepen your expertise within a specific field. Others form interdisciplinary intersections where engineers and professionals from various fields come together around broader societal issues and technological challenges.
