On 28 November, 2025, students, alumni, and colleagues of the University of Twente came together to celebrate the remarkable legacy of Prof. Dr. Jan Kreiken. This special gathering brought past, present, and future generations into one room — reflecting on the foundations laid by Prof. Kreiken, celebrating the impact of his work, and exploring how his pioneering spirit continues to shape our university today.
The event was co-created with Study Association Stress, the Kreiken family, and a dedicated group of lecturers, researchers, and alumni. Together, we honoured a legacy of leadership, curiosity, and connection.
Below you will find a visual impression of the day: the speakers, the reflections, the conversations, and the moments in which generations truly stood on each other’s shoulders.
Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this day meaningful — and to those who continue to carry this legacy forward.
