Verkiezingen voor het bestuur van BEAM tijdens academiejaar 2025-2026.

In collaboration with BEAM, presented by Johns Hopkins The Convergence Series is a series of lectures, organised by different student groups of universities across the world: Johns Hopkins University in the US, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in Spain, EPFL in Switzerland, CentraleSupélec in Paris in France and ourselves, BEAM at the University of Ghent/VUB. This series discovers the domains of health, engineering and governance in a global perspective, bringing together visions of experts across the world. On the 28th of April at 15h, the science policy and diplomacy group at Johns Hopkins hosts a lecture about “Racial and Gender Biases in AI/ML-enabled Health Devices”. 3 experts in different subdomains will have a panel discussion on this topic for about 45 minutes, after which the audience can ask questions.

On Tuesday April 22th, the Biomedical Industry Day will take place in the Therminal (Hoverniersberg 24, 9000 Ghent). It is our pleasure to invite all master and interested bachelor students from UGent and VUB to this event. During the morning session, thesis pitches of the master thesis students will be presented. In the afternoon, a job fair and reception with thesis posters is organized. The job fair is a great occasion to network with companies and find internships or jobs. In the meantime, companies have the opportunity to organise a workshop or meet and greet with interested students. More information can be found on the website of BEAM. Free food and drinks will be provided for all students who upload their resume.
