**Hoe kunnen we onze steden koel genoeg houden nu ze door klimaatverandering in de zomer steeds heter worden? Met deze vraag als uitgangspunt organiseert Meet je stad Utrecht op maandag 15 juni een kennisavond in bibliotheek Neude over de rol van bomen bij het beperken van stedelijke hittestress.** ### De rol van bomen in de klimaatbestendige stad Onderzoeker dr. Daniela Maiullari van de TU Delft vertelt maandagavond 15 juni over de groeiende uitdaging van hittestress en legt uit hoe bomen in steden echt een verschil kunnen maken. Aan de hand van voorbeelden uit onderzoeksprojecten van de TU Delft behandelt ze monitoringtechnieken om stedelijke hitte te beoordelen en bespreekt ze de verkoelende werking van bomen. Ook presenteert dr. Maiullari de nieuwste inzichten over hoe bomen functioneren in stedelijke omgevingen en hoe groene planningsstrategieën – zoals de 3-30-300-regel – kunnen helpen bij het verminderen van stedelijke hitte. De 3-30-300-regel gaat ervan uit dat elke bewoner vanuit zijn woning minstens drie volgroeide bomen kan zien, in een buurt woont met 30 procent boomkroonbedekking en binnen 300 meter toegang heeft tot een groene buitenruimte van een halve tot een hele hectare. *Dr. Daniela Maiullari is universitair docent aan de TU Delft. In haar onderzoek richt zij zich op stedelijke micro-klimaten, energietransitie-strategieën en klimaatadaptief ontwerp, met een sterke nadruk op datagedreven methoden. Zij geeft haar presentatie in het Engels.* ### Uitbreiding onderzoek Na de presentatie van Daniela Maiullari willen wij met de deelnemers in gesprek om te kijken of er behoefte is aan een aanvulling van het huidige burgerwetenschappelijke onderzoek naar een gezonde en klimaatbestendige stad. Tot nu toe verzamelt Meet je stad gegevens over temperatuur, luchtvochtigheid en fijnstofconcentraties. Zijn er andere gegevens die jullie belangrijk vinden? Over welke onderwerpen rond het klimaat in de stad maken mensen zich zorgen? En zijn er specifieke plekken waar mensen meetgegevens willen verzamelen? Aan de hand van de verzamelde onderwerpen gaan wij kijken hoe het onderzoek kan worden uitgebreid. ### Kom ook! **Kennisavond Meet Je Stad Utrecht** ‘Meten, weten en groeien; bomen voor een weerbare stad’ * Maandag 15 juni 2026, 20:00 tot 21:30 uur (inloop vanaf 19:30 uur) * Collegezaal bibliotheek Neude (Neude 11, 3512 AE Utrecht) * Toegang is gratis, [wel even hier aanmelden](https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/mJLZKqHEMN?origin=lprLink) Meet je stad is onderdeel van Milieucentrum Utrecht en brengt via burgerwetenschap klimaatverandering in de stad in kaart, *[www.meetjestad.nl](http://www.meetjestad.nl/).*

Clean code is essential for maintaining speed and reliability in software development. Poorly structured or inconsistent code introduces friction, slows teams down, and increases the risk of defects. This is where SonarQube comes in. SonarQube is a platform that helps teams continuously inspect and improve code quality. It supports a wide range of languages, including Java, Python, and JavaScript, as well as Infrastructure-as-Code technologies like Terraform and Kubernetes Helm charts. By analyzing your code, SonarQube identifies issues and presents them in a clear dashboard. These issues are categorized as Bugs, Vulnerabilities, and Code Smells, each with a defined severity. Behind the scenes, these findings are based on rules organized into language-specific quality profiles, which can be customized to match your organization’s standards. SonarQube can also be integrated into your CI/CD pipeline, enforcing quality through Quality Gates. In this talk, I’ll introduce the core concepts and explore advanced features that can help you get even more value from the platform. **Program:** · 17:00 \- 17:30 \| Walk\-in · 17:30 \- 18:30 \| Diner · 18:30 – 19:30 \| Talk · 19:30 – 21:00 \| Borrel **🗓️ Date**: Monday 15 juni 2026 **⏰ Time**: 17:00 - 21:00 uur **📍 Location**: Nevelgaarde 20G, 3436 ZZ Nieuwegein ❗️**NOTE**: Our official name is PSG technauts.

If you are living in The Netherlands, by now, you may well have noticed the amount of open water. If you enjoy cycling in the city, you may wish to feel safer as you navigate the bridges and canals. And you may also want to get ready for visiting the beach, pools or the many lakes this summer. Learning how to swim takes approx 1 year and it all starts with the very first lesson. New comers enroll via our website and pay € 30,50, this is the first lesson and a goody bag. After the class you agree with the personal swim coach how to continue to obtain your final objectives. Enrolling is only possible via [www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl ](https://www.your-personal-swim-coach.nl/)hence a rvsp via meetup is not enough.

Flevoland is growing rapidly and has great potential to further develop as an attractive location for innovative companies. By working together and combining our strengths, we strengthen the infrastructure and provide better support for innovation. This benefits not only startups, but also the broader SME sector. To achieve this, we are jointly building the Startup Flevoland ecosystem. This initiative focuses on improving the infrastructure, increasing Flevoland’s visibility as a startup region, and creating a fertile environment for entrepreneurship and innovation. In collaboration with Horizon Flevoland, we are increasing our impact and creating the right conditions for startups to grow and contribute to the regional economy. During *Beschuitje eten met…*, we meet with a smaller group of startups to discuss the challenges they face in more depth and get to know each other better. This helps strengthen the community. It is an informal and accessible setting in which startup founders share experiences, help one another, and make valuable connections. Aspiring entrepreneurs, investors, and network partners also join the conversation to share their knowledge and expertise. **Please note:** Places are limited. You will receive a ticket, as well as a final confirmation if you are able to participate. https://event.inchecksysteem.nl/event/020868fbffdacf11/shop/3eefa9cc4c2cdc2f

Calling all Queer Families! Kinship Commons is hosting our first Queer family hang out! *Pride Month seems like a great time to find your people.* A casual space to meet other queer / trans families - who get it. Let the kids play, build community alongside each other or just rest and snack. Come for a little while or stay for the whole time. Come as you are or bring a snack to share. 20 June @ 2pm In an effort to keep us safe - Send a DM for location Official Language: English All ages and stages of family welcome! Happy Pride! ***Caring Community Agreements:*** *Kinship Commons gatherings are BIPOC centered, queer-affirming, family-friendly, community spaces built around care, mutual respect, and shared responsibility for the space.* *Many people who come to these spaces are navigating stress, burnout, grief, trauma, parenting, isolation, or major life transitions. We try to create spaces where people can arrive as they are, without needing to perform or explain themselves.* **Consent:** Please ask before hugging, touching, picking up children, taking photos, or sharing someone else’s story. No is a complete sentence. **Children:** Children are welcome in this space and are at the center of our ecosystem. We understand that children make noise, move around, and have big feelings - these are all normal ways to be a growing human. Adults are responsible for their own children, and as a community, we approach all children with patience and care rather than discipline or correction unless safety is involved. At one of our events, if you see a caregiver on their own with children that needs support, please offer a helping hand. **Photos and Social Media:** Please ask before taking photos that include other people or their children. Not everyone is safe being online. **Stepping Away:** You are always welcome to step outside, sit quietly, leave early, arrive late, or take space. You do not need to explain. **Food:** We come from many cultures and backgrounds where food is often the centerpiece of connection in community space. If food is shared, please label common allergens. People are welcome to bring their own separate food if they have dietary needs. **Access:** We try to choose spaces that are close to public transport + parking, accessible for strollers, mobility aids, and different body needs when possible. If you have a specific access need, please reach out ahead of time so we can meet your needs. **Conflict and Harm:** Community spaces are not perfect and misunderstandings happen. We approach conflict slowly, with conversation, curiosity and care, rather than public calling out or shaming. Accountability and repair are part of community. **Shared Responsibility:** This space exists because people help make it exist. This might look like helping set up, cleaning up, bringing snacks, sharing skills, checking in on someone, or simply showing up regularly. You are welcome here whether you are outgoing or quiet, whether you know many people or no one, whether you come once a year or every week. There are many ways to belong to a community.

**Um was geht es dieses mal?** **Das Ende der Code-Ära: Warum Domain Modeling & Harness Engineering die wichtigsten Skills 2026 sind. - Benjamin Font Pera (codecentric)** "Die Ära, in der Softwareentwicklung primär durch das Beherrschen von Programmiersprachen und Frameworks definiert wurde, ist vorbei. Wer 2026 noch versucht, über reine Syntax-Kenntnisse Wertschöpfung zu generieren, hat gegen agentische KI-Systeme bereits verloren. Die eigentliche Herausforderung hat sich nach links verschoben: in die präzise Definition von Problemen und die Konstruktion von Leitplanken. In diesem Talk räume ich mit dem Mythos auf, dass KI uns das Denken abnimmt. Im Gegenteil: Die Verantwortung steigt. Ich stelle das Konzept des Harness Engineering vor – die Kunst, fachliche Anforderungen so in Test- und Evaluationsgerüste zu gießen, dass KI-Systeme darin verlässlich operieren können. Als Agentic Coding Engineer und AI Coach zeige ich auf, warum Fachlichkeit zur wichtigsten technischen Fähigkeit wird. Wenn die KI Code generiert oder “halluziniert”, ist das tiefe Verständnis der Domäne das einzige verlässliche Werkzeug zur Qualitätssicherung. Die Kernbotschaften: Problem-Definition als Hard-Skill: Warum die Fähigkeit, komplexe Fachlichkeit präzise einzufangen, das neue „Clean Code” ist. Harness Engineering statt Code-Fixing: Wie wir die Kontrolle behalten, indem wir das „Harnisch” (Evals & Guardrails) bauen, statt Zeile für Zeile zu reviewen. Shift Left zur Domäne: Warum Entwickler:innen 2026 mehr wie System-Architekten und Domänen-Experten denken müssen, um relevant zu bleiben. Lessons Learned vom AI Coach: Warum die größten Hürden dieser Transformation nicht technischer Natur sind, sondern im Mindset der „Lösungs-Produzenten” liegen. Dieser Vortrag ist ein Weckruf für alle, die Softwareentwicklung noch als Handwerk am Code verstehen – und ein Leitfaden für diejenigen, die bereit sind, die nächste Ebene der Abstraktion zu besetzen." **Hybrides Setup!** Wir freuen uns, euch bei uns in den Räumen der codecentric AG in Dortmund willkommen zu heißen. Vor Ort versorgen wir euch mit Snacks und Getränken und freuen uns gleichzeitig über interessante Diskussionen und einen guten Austausch. Für alle, die es nicht zu uns ins Office schaffen, werden wir das Meetup Hybrid durchführen. Der Stream beginnt ca. 10 Minuten später, damit wir vor Ort ausreichend Möglichkeit für persönliches Kennenlernen haben. Den Live-Stream findet ihr auf dem [YouTube-Channel](https://www.youtube.com/@codecentricAG) der codecentric AG. **Wichtig - Absage bitte rechtzeitig:** Wir bestellen das Essen bereits 3 Tage vor dem Meetup. Falls ihr doch verhindert sein solltet, bitten wir euch um eine rechtzeitige Absage. Das ist wichtig, damit wir nicht unnötig Essen verschwenden müssen. Vielen Dank für euer Verständnis! **Anreise:** Per Zug: Vom Dortmunder HBF sind es ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Mit dem Auto: Rund um das Office gibt es einige Parkflächen, dazu befinden sich in dem Parkhaus der Thier-Galerie weitere Parkplätze.

*Please note: this meetup will be held in English.* In this first meet up, you will be shown a set of immersive artistic and design research experiments. Project Thuis conducts two years of artistic and design research into immersive experiences that place the body at the centre.

Communication is everything in life You are only as successful as your ability to communicate. \- What if you could confidently talk to anyone? \- What if you had the ability to calmly control every conversation? \- What if you could close that sale\, ask for that date\, make new friends\, repair problematic relationships\, get that raise\, or effortlessly express any idea with confidence? You can! The secret to success relies on your ability or inability to effectively communicate. Attend a free seminar and gain a better ability to communicate.
