TEKNOWLOGY 2024

Personalized cardiac fortune telling through virtual time-travel

The conference:

Join us this year to pave the road towards a just and sustainable future together. What is the role of technology in this transition? How can we challenge the status quo? What and who do we need to succeed in this transitional journey? Visit TEKNOWLOGY 2024 to be inspired and challenged to collaborate with pioneers from research, industry and the public sector.

At TEKNOWLOGY, we will try to answer the following questions: How can we boost innovation? What can we learn from transitions in the past? What is required for social acceptance of technology?

For the TEKNOWLOGY meeting, where we look at technology through an interdisciplinary lens, I was invited as on of the 15 best proposals for NWO's Open Mind grant. I had to pitch my out-of-the-box idea for a sustainable solution to a societal challenge.

After having received many compliments about my unusual but amusing pitch about "Personalized cardiac fortune telling through virtual time-travel", I was awarded one of the 7 Open Mind grants! Hooray!

As part of the grant submission process, a 2-minute video needed to be made. You can find mine underneath:

The announcement of the winners happened through a poem that was written and performed on the spot by Rachel Diaz. You can find admire it below:
