In the book Hersenvensters. Wonderlijke verhalen van de neuroloog (2026), researcher and neurologist Prof dr Michel van Putten (MST/UT) takes the reader on a journey through intriguing, sometimes moving, but always wonderful stories from his own neurology practice. Van Putten shows how the brain and behaviour are intimately connected and how vulnerable and resilient our nervous system is. With book signing afterwards! https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/812885/farewell-reception-vinod-subramaniam Thu, 09 Apr 2026 14:15:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#812885 As you set out for Ithaka hope your road is a long one, full of adventure, full of discovery https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/736137/acoustics-from-wooden-recorders-to-digital-sound-design Thu, 09 Apr 2026 18:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#736137  Acoustics is the science of sound. But when you make music, working with acoustics also becomes an art. How do you take acoustics into account when making instruments? How did they do that in the past and how is it done today when your ‘instrument’ is digital? Recorder maker and engineer Jan Bouterse talks about the recorder and the factors that determine its sound. Sound designer Jaap Visser composes music for video games, among other things, and works mainly digitally. This presents new challenges and opportunities. An evening that will be music to your ears! https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/468295/marid-viii Sat, 11 Apr 2026 22:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#468295 The seabed of shallow seas, like the Dutch North Sea, is covered by bedforms, from ripples to sand banks, including tidal sand waves, which affect tidal flow. Riverbeds are also covered by dunes and scour holes, which can affect navigability or salinity distribution, for example. Bedforms definitely affect the nature around us, but do we know everything about them? https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/736156/the-colourful-universe-of-bas-kosters Tue, 14 Apr 2026 17:30:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#736156 Artist Bas Kosters made his breakthrough with striking fashion collections, but over the past ten years he has also made a name for himself with textiles, drawings, graphic art and ceramics. Through these works, he tells personal stories about loneliness, happiness, freedom, sexuality and identity. Layer upon layer, colour upon colour. Always with one driving force: the desire to connect with others. Drs. Hiska Bakker (SG) interviews him at the Rijksmuseum Twenthe, where his first solo exhibition, Many Loving Arms, is on display from 14 February to 7 June. There will also be time to view the exhibition. Start interview: 19.30 hours till around 20.10 hours. Museum open till 21 hours. Students free of charge. Others: 7,50 euro. Get your (free) ticket here. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/809711/sts-nl-conference-april-15-17-2026 Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#809711 On April 15-17, 2026, the first STS NL Conference will take place at the University of Twente, preceded by an early-stage researcher event on April 14. The conference addresses ‘Knowledge and Technologies in Times of Global Shifts” and assembles researchers interested in Science and Technology Studies, from the Netherlands and abroad. Around 260 contributions – presentations, workshops and posters – are included in the programme, covering topics such as transformation of knowledge and research practices, digitalisation & AI, health, energy, futures, ethics, politics and power.   https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/736244/getting-pumped-up-for-the-bata Tue, 21 Apr 2026 17:30:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#736244 Why do some people start exercising and stick with it, while others give up (quickly)? How do you get and stay motivated? Mariska van Sprundel provides well-founded tips. She has a background in biology and biomedical sciences and is a running coach. She has written several books, including Door de barrière (Through the Barrier). This book is about mental strategies that can help you when the going gets tough during a race. It also covers dealing with injuries and different forms of motivation. One thing is clear: physical strength alone is not enough. Highly recommended in the run-up to the Batavierenrace. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/4/712963/joint-research-day-tampere-university-university-of-twente Thu, 23 Apr 2026 11:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#712963 The Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology (MET) at Tampere University (TAU) and the Technical Medical Centre of the University of Twente (UT) are planning a second edition of a joint research day to further strengthen collaboration between the institutions in research, education, and innovation activities. Both institutions already have experience with internal Research Days. Following a successful joint research day in April 2023, accompanied by a travel voucher call that stimulated mobility between the two institutes and resulted in several long-lasting collaboration activities, we will organise a second online Joint Research Day with selected thematic talks and matchmaking sessions on 23 April 2026. This event is designed to serve as a starting point for more in-depth discussions on new areas of collaboration. The Research Day is particularly targeted at younger researchers (PhDs, Postdocs, and Assistant Professors), and also to stimulate their international exposure. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/5/736260/how-can-we-break-the-power-of-big-tech Thu, 07 May 2026 18:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#736260 Did you know that almost three quarters of Dutch student data is stored by American tech companies? Professor of internet security, Prof dr Roland van Rijswijk-Deij (UT), is shaking up the UT with a petition against Big Tech interference. He wonders whether we in the Netherlands can stand on our own digital feet. All the data we share via Facebook or WhatsApp also ends up in America. Dave Borghuis, privacy expert and founder of hackerspace TkkrLab, is committed to making people digitally critical and skilled. He himself caught the municipality of Enschede misusing Wi-Fi tracking. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/5/311790/online-infosession-parttime-master-public-management Tue, 12 May 2026 10:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#311790 Will you be attending the online information meeting of our parttime programme Master Public Management on May 12? During this meeting participants will share their experiences with you. Next to that, there is plenty of time to ask the programme team questions about this unique part-time programme. We hope to see you!

With a romantic film, the clichés are usually obvious too: when will they get together? The stories are diverse, but often follow the same pattern. Are there new, original storytellers who avoid the clichés? Who film more like life itself: more casually and unexpectedly... Film scholar Gerlinda Heywegen identifies a trend, one that makes you feel more relaxed and perhaps even happier at the cinema. But first, she revels in those delightful clichés. And there's the kiss! https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/5/825776/twente-health-school-event-ready-to-shape-the-future-of-health Sun, 17 May 2026 22:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#825776 Join us for Shaping the Future of Health: from concept to impact and experience an energetic multi-day programme where you explore how technology, data, and society intersect in research, policy and practice.  https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/5/736274/the-quiet-girl Tue, 19 May 2026 18:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#736274  As a follow-up to Gerlinda Heywegen's lecture on 12 May, Concordia is showing a film that illustrates what she means by a “gentle” film. The Quiet Girl (An Cailín Ciúin, 2022, 136 min) gives us, the audience, plenty of space. You can clearly see how a girl can “land” in a new environment. Slowly, you empathise with her and notice that she – just as she is – finds her place in the world. Somewhere in the Irish countryside. No grand gestures, no over-the-top developments, no catharsis needed. This is how a film can captivate you, as The Quiet Girl perfectly demonstrates. With Dutch subtitles. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/5/721334/4tu.health-event-2026 Thu, 28 May 2026 07:30:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#721334 On 28 May 2026, the 4TU.Health Event will bring together leading experts from technology and healthcare for a day dedicated entirely to collaboration and innovation. We will reflect on the outcomes of 2022–2025 and use these insights to shape the course for 2026–2030. In interactive sessions, we will explore themes such as imaging and AI, health in the living environment, bio-engineering technology, education, valorisation and implementation. This will be followed by a panel discussion featuring representatives from healthcare, industry and policy, jointly guiding the strategic direction for 4TU.Health (2026–2030). An open-space showcase with projects and demonstrators from the four technical universities will provide opportunities for networking, inspiration and discussion on scaling and impact. Altogether, the event serves as a working meeting where ideas can grow directly into new collaborations. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/6/670064/enhance-voices-in-motion Wed, 10 Jun 2026 10:30:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#670064 You are invited to the encore of ENHANCE - Voices in motion!

Patient populations are changing, pressure on capacity is increasing, and healthcare systems must adapt ever more quickly. In this dynamic environment, clinical epidemiology provides crucial guidance: it uncovers trends, effects, and outcomes, and can directly inform and accelerate the development and application of technology in healthcare, enabling smarter, more efficient, and future-proof solutions. The conference is hosted and locally organised by the University of Twente (Department of Health Technology and Services Research, HTSR), under the auspices of the Netherlands Epidemiology Society (VvE). EPICON brings together clinicians, researchers, policymakers, technological innovators and students to explore how epidemiology can drive technological innovation and improve healthcare processes and outcomes. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/6/842824/ai-day-2026 Tue, 30 Jun 2026 07:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#842824 On 30 June 2026, the University of Twente hosts AI Day 2026, a full day event that brings together companies, public organisations and researchers to explore how artificial intelligence can be applied in practice. https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/9/1354250/public-management-dialogues Wed, 02 Sep 2026 11:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#1354250 Polarisation does not stop at the workplace https://www.utwente.nl/en/events/2026/11/846974/risk-resilience-festival-digital-autonomy-risk-safety-security Wed, 04 Nov 2026 23:00:00 +0000 https://www.utwente.nl/en/events.rss#846974 On Thursday, 5 November 2026, the campus of the University of Twente will host the Risk & Resilience Festival. This edition focuses on a theme that is becoming increasingly urgent for organisations and governments: digital autonomy.
