Health challenges don’t respect faculty boundaries — and neither should innovation!
⚙️With #Health &TechConnect2026, we deliberately brought together expertise from across the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture UGent and Faculteit Geneeskunde en Gezondheidswetenschappen UGent to stimulate dialogue, challenge perspectives and spark new collaborations.
🎤 The plenary part — from faculty insights to keynote and pitches — made it clear how complementary expertise sharpens research questions, strengthens ideas and accelerates collaboration. What followed in the topic rooms were exactly the kind of conversations we aim for: open, curious, and action-oriented.
💡 My main takeaway? Interfaculty collaboration is not just a side activity — it is a key driver for impact in health and technology.
👏 A heartfelt thank you to our speakers, topic room moderators, participants and all others who contributed to this succesful evening!
