|title=We’re going to Europeagain!|content=<br>The 2024 2025 Meetup will take place at the '''University of Twente''' in the Netherlands! <br><br>While we’ve loved holding the Meetup at the d.school, we’ve also had amazing experiences bringing the Meetup and our UIF energy to other parts of the world. So, for 2024, instead of meeting at Stanford2025, we’ll meet at the Design Lab, the home of our fabulous UIF community at Twente. We look forward to learning from our European friends about issues they’ve been at the forefront of, including smart cities, sustainability strategies, and global migration. <br><br>
This change will impact Meetup travel and expenses: hotels are generally less expensive in the Netherlands than in Palo Alto; airfare may be higher for U.S. students; and our non-U.S. participants may have an easier time getting travel visas. Stay tuned for more information to be posted here.}}

'''Does your Faculty Champion want to attend the Silicon Valley Meetup?'''<br>
Faculty Champions can request to attend the Meetup alongside students who have been selected to attend. Those faculty who attend attends must participate in the full event, alongside the Fellows from their school. We will share invitations with faculty after Fellows have received their invitation to attend.<br><br>
'''How much does the Meetup cost?'''<br>
Institutions are asked to cover the cost of Fellows' travel (by plane, train or automobile) and hotel stay. There is no event registration fee. The program covers meals once the event begins. If you are unsure of the availability of funds to cover your travel, start by talking to your Faculty Champion. Many have already set aside a budget for that purpose. If not, you may be required to be entrepreneurial in seeking out sources of funding across campus. We urge you to get started right away.<br><br>{{Fmbox|image=none| style = border:5px solid #008b8b; background-color:#f1fcf8;|text=
