In addition to the Ice-Breaker event, on-site participants are able to collect their badges from the conference venue between 16:00 and 18:00 on the Monday 12th of September. We hope the majority of on-site participants will pick up their badges during these hours to avoid delays and disruption to the conference programme on Tuesday morning.

Concert at 19:00-20:00 in TivoliVredenburg (Hertz hall)

Title of the performed piece: Temperature Music
Composer: Sem Hak
Orchestra:  Utrecht Studenten Concert (USC)
Conductor: Sander Teepen

The graphs of climate change, CO2 emissions and rising temperatures are widely known. With Temperature Music, these graphics are transformed to the emotional realm via music. The temperature graphics are incorporate as a 'heartbeat' into the music. That beat accelerates according to the temperature graph. The end of the piece will change every time that it will be performed, based on the temperature deviation of the time it is performed compared to a century ago. With Temperature Music we want to make audible how critical the climate situation is in order to make people aware that something really needs to be done.
