Joint research day - Tampere University & University of TwenteThe Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET) at Tampere University (TAU) and the Technical Medical Centre of the University of Twente (UT) are planning a second edition of a joint research day to further strengthen collaboration between the institutions in research, education, and innovation activities. Both institutions already have experience with internal Research Days. Following a successful joint research day in April 2023, accompanied by a travel voucher call that stimulated mobility between the two institutes and resulted in several long-lasting collaboration activities, we will organise a second online Joint Research Day with selected thematic talks and matchmaking sessions on 23 April 2026. This event is designed to serve as a starting point for more in-depth discussions on new areas of collaboration. The Research Day is particularly targeted at younger researchers (PhDs, Postdocs, and Assistant Professors), and also to stimulate their international exposure.

How can we break the power of Big Tech?Did you know that almost three quarters of Dutch student data is stored by American tech companies? Professor of internet security, Prof dr Roland van Rijswijk-Deij (UT), is shaking up the UT with a petition against Big Tech interference. He wonders whether we in the Netherlands can stand on our own digital feet. All the data we share via Facebook or WhatsApp also ends up in America. Dave Borghuis, privacy expert and founder of hackerspace TkkrLab, is committed to making people digitally critical and skilled. He himself caught the municipality of Enschede misusing Wi-Fi tracking.
