On the day the University of Twente celebrates its 58th anniversary, The Technical Medical Centre organizes an inspiring symposium for its key relations and partners: The opening of the first Technical Medical Centre in Europe. During the programme you will be informed about the Technical Medical Centre itself, its great simulation centre, its Educational and Life Long Learning programs, and of course a future glimpse on the research & development agenda. As collaboration is key for reaching our mission, several key partners will present about the successful collaborations.

After this symposium, the TechMed Centre will host the 58th Dies Natalis (Theme ‘People-first technology’) and will officially be opened. Hereafter you will have the unique opportunity to explore our new facilities, as the celebrations take place in the Technical Medical Centre.
