Thursday Night Live! on Thursday evenings offers a diverse programme of lectures and debates about architecture, design and digital culture. Why not enjoy a pre-event supper with the speakers, guests and Het Nieuwe Instituut's staff? The Thursday Bite, served in Het Nieuwe Café from 18.00, offers a light vegetarian meal. Attend one of the debates, film screenings or other activities or meet friends and professional contacts in the bar.
At the moment, the Thursday Night Live! programme takes place online, therefore the café is open until 18:00.
