NWO grants awarded to four UT researchersWithin the NWO Open Competition ENW (Domain Science), four University of Twente research projects have been awarded grants of up to €50,000. The funding is intended to support promising ideas and innovative, high-risk initiatives across seven scientific disciplines within ENW. These projects are designed to push the boundaries of science, and there is no guarantee that the intended objectives will be achieved. What matters is that every outcome—whether positive or negative—contributes to scientific progress. The University of Twente researchers selected in this funding round are Ritu Gupta (TNW), Rafael Lopez Rangel (ET), Dr C. Wloka-Tjalsma (EEMCS), and Frank Röttger (EEMCS).eemcsETnwoTNWRead more
Curaçao recognises medical technicians as an independent healthcare professionThe profession of clinical technologist is now also recognised outside the Netherlands. In Curaçao, the role has been added to the local register of healthcare professionals, the equivalent of the Dutch BIG register. UT alumna Rianne Tsai was instrumental in securing this recognition. She is also the first clinical technologist to be listed in such a register outside the Netherlands.
Tsai is from Suriname and, whilst studying Technical Medicine at the UT, wanted to do an internship abroad. She spotted Curaçao on the list of internship destinations. “Curaçao is quite close to Suriname, so I thought: I’ll just give it a go,” says Tsai. During her master’s placement at the Curaçao Medical Centre (CMC), she set up a 3D lab together with surgeon David Nellensteijn. They bought a 3D printer and produced the first surgical plans.Read more
