Abstract information
In order to facilitate knowledge exchange and foster connections, employees are invited to get the online stage and share their work and ambitions (research or education) within the University of Twente and Radboudumc community and to connect with each other.
Abstract submission is now open. We invite employees in the fields of healthcare education and research to submit an abstract for 5 minute pitch presentations. Based on the number of submitted abstracts and (preferably) an equal distribution between both institutions, scheduling and parallel sessions on various themes will be arranged. In case of too many applications for the available timeslots a selection will be made.
