Are you a student or early-career professional with an interest in housing construction, area development, real estate or spatial planning? During this interactive speed dating session, you will get to know professionals from the ministry of BZK | Housing and Spatial Planning and the Rijksvastgoedbedrijf (RVB) through short conversations.
Talk about the major spatial challenges facing the Netherlands: from housing construction and Defence to sustainable area development and national real estate. Ask your questions, discover how policy and practice come together, and hear what it’s like to work on projects that shape the Netherlands.
A low-threshold and inspiring way to expand your network, exchange experiences and perhaps meet your future employer.
Please note: this session is also part of Expeditie Vastgoed!
