PRESENTATION

The Creathon is a creative marathon during which thirty young metropolitan, Belgian and Dutch people work to find creative, innovative and realistic solutions on a given theme while having an entrepreneurial approach. The participants, guided by three coaches, work in a workshop format in mixed, multidisciplinary and international teams for a limited time and with a prize at stake.

In May 2023, La Métropole Européenne de Lille, l’Institut Francais NL, The French-Dutch Network, and the Embassy of France in Belgium are co-organizing with Wageningen University and Research, Fontys Pulsed, a Cross-Creathon on the following theme: “Sustainable food: between decarbonation and resilience”.

This year, the first stage will take place in the Netherlands, in Wageningen, from May 2 to 4, and the second stage will take place in Lille, from May 24 to 26. The projects will be presented on May 26 to a jury of professionals.

To close this event, a Networking evening will be organised on Thursday, May 25 at the end of the day with the central theme of “sustainable food: from farm to fork”.

Policy makers, researchers, entrepreneurs and students will be present at the event. The event will also welcome the participants involved in the European Youth Dialogue 2023.
