Latest Breakthroughs in Biomedical Engineering Research
Description
As part of this seminar series, each week a different research group at the Department of Biomedical Engineering (DBE) hosts an expert in their respective field of research for a 45-minute presentation followed by a 15-minute Q&A session.
The lectures are followed by a networking event in a relaxed atmosphere.
Learning Objectives
- You get an overview of the research conducted at the DBE
- You have the opportunity to talk directly to national and international experts and meet peer researchers
- You can identify the take-home message of a scientific talk and briefly summarize its essential points in a short summary
Workload and Credits
25 hours, of which 10h course attendance, 1 ECTS
Course Assessment (Pass/Fail) criteria
- Seminar participation. Participants must attend at least 80% of the lectures.
