EU Commission invests €16 million in DIH-HEROThe European Commission invests €16 million in DIH-HERO (Digital Innovation Hubs in Healthcare Robotics), a European project which aims to boost innovation and implementation of robotics in healthcare. The project consortium, which is led by the University of Twente (as coordinator), consists of 17 partners spread across 10 European countries. The consortium is aimed to establish an independent platform meant to connect businesses, knowledge institutes, investors and other stakeholders, facilitate collaboration and support them to make their products and services in the field of robotics available to healthcare providers.Read more
"Human beings are the biggest risk to innovations"The Dutch have no problem texting while they cycle and are happy to install solar panels, but they are troubled by nuclear energy and afraid of a terrorist attack.
