We hereby cordially invite you to the Dies Natalis on Friday 28 November 2025.
You are welcome in Waaier 1 as of 15:00, the walk-in starts at 14:30. This afternoon will be dedicated to celebration, reflection, and progress in honour of the anniversary of our institution.
Twente is at the forefront of a unique healthcare transformation: the development of the Hospital of the Future. Here, technology, data and collaboration are used to organise providing care in a smarter way: by reducing the labour effort, bringing high-quality care closer to citizens and strengthening the regional economy.
During this Dies Natalis, we will take you through this ambitious ‘moonshot’. You will gain insight into the challenges, opportunities, and innovations that cause Twente to be a national and international testing ground for MedTech.
Traditionally, prizes will be awarded and there will be a reception afterwards. We hope to offer you an inspiring and fun afternoon!
Speakers

We look forward to welcoming you!
