The School of Dogger Bank will present research from different disciplines: art, design, law and science. We welcome you to engage in dialogues and exchange viewpoints, and – if you wish – to sign the founding declaration. We will send you additional information in the weeks leading up to the meeting, including the text of the founding declaration.

The Water Bodies Orchestra
The Inaugural Meeting coincides with the Confluence of European Water Bodies 2025, a transdisciplinary network of around 60 representatives of Europe’s rivers, seas, lakes, glaciers and wetlands. After the Mar Menor in 2023 and the Venice Lagoon in 2024, the Dutch North Sea is hosting the Confluence in September 2025. The members will join the evening and perform the Water Bodies Orchestra, a digital design project, led by artists Harpo ’t Hart and Steye Hallema. Through this interactive group experience, the human and non-human voices of water bodies will come together in a performative moment.
