Research Day

Because we want to encourage knowledge sharing, we organise an annual Research Day for all researchers from the faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Veterinary Medicine.

You can expect an exciting programme with presentations by students and researchers, workshops and lectures by international guest speakers. So mark Thursday 20 March 2025 in your diary.

This is an initiative of the Scientific Research Committees and Student Councils of the 3 participating faculties.
