Thursday 12 February 2026 12:00 - 17:30
On 12 February 2026, the University of Twente organises a kick-off afternoon focusing on building a regional network around human-in-the-loop simulation. This interactive meeting brings together companies, researchers and organisations to exchange knowledge, share perspectives and explore opportunities for collaboration.
The afternoon kicks off with lunch and focuses on identifying common interests, potential partnerships and possibilities for future joint projects and grant applications. The programme includes short pitches by participating companies and round-table discussions to stimulate dialogue between academia and industry.
We look forward to welcoming you to this interactive session to connect academia and industry and shape future collaboration in the field of simulation!
