We are pleased to invite you to our annual Radboudumc Research Strategy Day, which will take place on Wednesday, June 17 from 10:00 - 17:30 at the Experience Center.
Building on our research strategy, this day focuses on how the SEP evaluation can inform and sharpen our actions to further strengthen impact. It will be an interactive and forward-looking program, offering space to exchange ideas and collectively advance our strategic direction.
Program highlights:
- Keynote: Karien Stronks, Chair of the Dutch Health Council and Professor of Public Health at Amsterdam UMC, will show how impactful research can emerge from a common goal, sustained collaboration, and cross-sector partnerships - an inspiring example for our programs built on these three Cs.
- Institute in motion: Lessons learned from SEP and presentation of the institute's action plan by the directors of the research institute.
- Poster Session: Discussion of the institute’s overarching action plan, alongside presentations of emerging new research programs.
- Breakout sessions: Dedicated time for the research programs to share, develop and refine their strategic action plans.
- Awards ceremony: Presentation of the Top-programs and announcement the winners of the PhD Supervision, Envision, and Open Science Awards
-
17 June 10:00 – 17:30 hrs, at the Experience Center auditorium, route 6.

This event is especially relevant for senior researchers (Researchers in Talent Track, Research Group Leaders, and all (associate) professors) and will focus on strengthening the strategic direction and long-term impact of our research.

This year we are distributing the well-known PhD Supervision award as well as the Envision award and the Open Science Award:
- PhD Supervision award 2026: PhD candidates are invited to nominate their promotor (full professors and associate professors with ius promovendi)
- Envision award - Image of the Year 2026: Radboudumc researchers and research groups are invited to submit one photo that reflects their research in a meaningful, interesting or visually striking way. This can be many things: a beautiful microscope image, a strong picture from a lab or clinical setting, a moment during your research, a visual of a technology or method, or a photo that says something about why your work matters. The aim is simple: show us one image that helps others understand, feel or imagine your research.
- Open Science Award 2026: We invite nominations of groups affiliated with Radboudumc who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to Open Science. In 2026, the award will specifically recognise contributions in the area of Citizen Science.
Deadline for submission of nominations for the three awards is Tuesday 19 May 2026!
