Biomedical Engineering Forum 21 August 2026
Biomedical engineering at SDU spans a wide range of fields: From medical technology and robotics to biomaterials, sensors, medical imaging, digital health and AI. Many activities across the University, the region and industry have the potential to be of benefit for multiple stakeholders – and the Forum has been created with the explicit aim of connecting these environments.
