TechMed Research Day

Join us on 16 April 2026 and be part of a dynamic and inspiring TechMed Research Day, organised for and by the internal TechMed Centre community. This one-day event, held at the TechMed Centre, is designed to bring the TechMed community closer together through networking, knowledge sharing, and interactive discussion sessions. The program features insightful presentations by talented researchers from the TechMed Centre research institute, offering a glimpse into the projects taking place across various departments. This year, we are also specifically inviting all senior researchers and other involved colleagues from the University of Twente to participate in an interactive program that explores how the structure of the interdisciplinary TechMed Centre could take shape in the future. These sessions provide participants with a valuable opportunity to contribute as a community to the further development of the TechMed Centre.

Connection and collaboration are key focus points this year. Engage with colleagues, explore new partnership opportunities, and exchange ideas that can drive innovation forward.
