HTRIC Research Meetup
HTRIC is about Health Technology for more healthy years. Join us on October 1st for the first HTRIC Research Meet-up. Connect with your peers, learn about their work and meet your potential research partners. Our objectives at this first Research Meet-up are: sharing our thoughts and acquired knowledge with you, to trigger our ambition to innovate, and to cooperate with us to create healthy years to come. We will also announce shared PhD positions.
The program kicks off with a keynote by Prof. Hélder A. Santos, followed by theme sessions about the HTRIC research themes and workshops regarding new Health Technology to share our expertise and support your research. There will be plenty of space to connect and network with fellow attendees and meet research talent in Health Technology. Register now for the Research Meet-up, and we will keep you informed about registering for the theme sessions and workshops.
