Agenda

Waag organises a variety of public events, based on our research and network. We highlight current themes, organise workshops, and present collaborations between scientists, designers and artists. The first Thursday of every month, Waag opens its doors for Waag Open: events anyone can participate in.

Water wise

Is the water clean enough to swim in? Why does water sometimes turn green? Join us on 6 August to measure and observe water quality, and discover what water can tell you.

GLUE 2026

During GLUE 2026, Waag Futurelab is hosting 6 artists and designers, showcasing how design can scratch at the surface of larger themes. Our designed world is broken, can we fix it? At least we can mend, patch, hack and repair.
