Kick-off IOF Cross-Health platform
The Cross-Health platform officially kicked off on 14/10/2020 via its livestream for AUGent researchers and presented the benefits of interdisciplinary research across species and technologies.
We look back at 2 livestreams with an inspiring keynote on bio-inspired thinking out of the cross-disciplinary box, high-level presentations of experts and interesting questions from an interdisciplinary audience (biologists, biomedical scientists, biotechnologists, chemists, data scientists, engineers, mathematicians, nurses, pharmacists, physicians, psychologists, veterinarians and other). We also would like to thank the host (Moose-Stache) for their contribution to the kick-off.
Recordings and behind-the-scene photos of the livestreams
Remaining Q&A listed as of 2:09:58.
The break in livestream 1 is from 53:01-58:22, in livestream 2 from 53:08-58:30.
We hope that the informative presentations and ideas of each of the experts could be of value to you and your work.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to welcome you at one of our future activities.
With kind regards,
The Cross-Health platform team
This event was sponsored by the Industrial Research Fund (IOF)
