Challenges in extreme conditions: a solo rowing across the Atlantic
Are you ready to uncover the secrets of chemistry, physics, and biomedical engineering through the adventure of a lifetime? Join us for an exciting 3-day lecture series and interactive workshops led by international scientists and researchers.
Under the flag of ECIU University, the University of Twente, together with Kaunas University of Technology and Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, is organising four sessions on adventure, chemistry, physics, and biomedical engineering in tackling challenges crossing the Atlantic Ocean.
The lectures are entitled One Man’s Atlantic Ocean Odyssey: Uncovering the Secrets of Chemistry, Physics, and Biomedical Engineering Innovation and are inspired by Lithuanian adventurer Aurimas Valujavičius, who completed a solo rowing journey across the Atlantic.
The lecture, crafted for curiosity-driven students/researchers and a broad UT-wide community, combines adventure with scientific exploration, drawing from the story of a solo transatlantic journey. Through this lens, participants will discover the interdisciplinary nature of science, the environmental and chemical challenges in extreme conditions, the role of biomedical engineering, and the process of applying innovative solutions that successfully enable Aurimas to cross the ocean.
Attending the lecture is open to everyone at the UT. The lecture cycle consists of four sessions of 2.5 hours each. We highly recommend following the full lectures for continuity, but if desired, you can join part of them. Those who follow the full lecture series will receive an ECIU certificate.
We have limited places—40 people per day. Please register using this form ( click here) and check the link for more information.
It will take place in the Langezijds-Room-2516 (InstructionLab).
