Do you want to see where you can work after Biomedical Engineering? Come join us on the 9th of October as we visit Fortimedix in Geleen. Here they will show how their company develops surgical tools which are used in minimally invasive surgery. These highly flexible but rigid rods can be manipulated by a surgeon so they can move their equipment In Vivo. This means they only need to make small incisions to be able to operate on a patient, leading to less damaged tissue. Therefore patients can recover more quickly. 

During the visit, we will have a tour around the company, whereafter we will work on an interactive case. The day will be closed with a borrel! So if you want to experience how it is to work on their complex problems, then you should come to the excursion! There are only 20 spots available, so sign up quickly!

We will meet at 12:30 / 12:40 in front of Traverse whereafter we will travel by bus to Geleen. After the day, we will be back around 18:45.

No spaces left? You can find the reserve list here

Lieve leden van Protagoras,

Het nieuwe collegejaar is alweer een aantal weken bezig en dat betekend dat het weer hoog tijd is voor de eerste ProZAc activiteit! Deze keer heeft de ProZAc voor jullie een geniale, giga gave GlowGolf acitiviteit voor jullie georganiseerd bij GlowGolf Eindhoven! Trek je mooiste neon kleren aan en kom gezellig met je vrienden een avondje indoor glow-in-the-dark midgetgolven. De activiteit zal plaatsvinden op 10 oktober, we verzamelen om 18.15 voor Traverse om vervolgens gezamenlijk naar de activiteit te fietsen. Het zal ongeveer duren tot 19.45 waarna er de gelegenheid is om nog iets te eten op de locatie (niet inbegrepen!). Schrijf je dus snel in want VOL=VOL! Hopelijk zien we jullie dan.

Kusjes,

De ProZAc
