6. Strategy for the next six years 49 To enhance discussion and increase awareness, we commit ourselves to coordinated actions to develop a shared academic culture where people feel welcome. Training courses on social safety and academic culture will be organized periodically. Moreover, social safety is added as a standard item to the agendas of all departmental meetings (e.g., the Council of Full Professors, scientific staff meetings, the PhD Council, management assistant meetings, lab safety meetings). As a recent example, all employees were strongly encouraged to watch Mindlab 8 , a theater play offered at TU/e on scientific and social integrity. We want to provide an open and inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and respected and where people learn, discuss and work for inspiration and the exchange of knowledge and scientific ideas. In this environment, we want to educate the engineer of the future and contribute to advances in science and technology in collaboration with other stakeholders to come to solutions for society related to energy, circularity and health. 8 Mindlab is a theater play about a Dutch university and aims to facilitate a dialogue on social safety and academic culture; https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/mindlab-a-theatre-performance-that-touches-at-the-heart-of-science- and-academia
