Connecting the dots, closing the loops
The theme of this year's Impact Digest reflects the way we work at AMS Institute. Ideas move between researchers, students, entrepreneurs, policymakers, and people working in the city. What we learn in one project can inform another, and experiments in Amsterdam can lead to new questions and approaches elsewhere.
The stories in this edition show some of those connections. Read about The New Street Project and its work on circular asphalt, explore how researchers are bringing together different perspectives to rethink our food system, and meet MSc MADE graduates who are now working as urban engineers. Together, these stories show how research, education, and practice feed into one another.
You'll also find stories about climate adaptation, extreme temperatures, microplastics, and other projects that show the wide range of questions we work on at AMS Institute.
Together, these stories offer a glimpse of how new ideas emerge when different perspectives meet: researchers and students connecting with entrepreneurs, communities, and partners across the city to explore complex challenges, test new approaches, and turn knowledge into meaningful change.
