OnePlanet Research Center celebrates five-year anniversary with event 'Gelderland innovations with global impact'

The OnePlanet Research Center innovation center is five years old and is celebrating with an anniversary event on April 3, 2024 at Industriepark Kleefse Waard in Arnhem.

Since its launch in 2019, OnePlanet Research Center has grown into a solid organization in the field of nano- and digital technology in agriculture, food, health and environment. With more than 100 employees, offices in Wageningen and Nijmegen, extensive laboratory facilities and innovative research programs, OnePlanet has been working on groundbreaking innovations for the past 5 years. In addition, the thriving OpenEducation program and cooperation with SMEs in the region have contributed to the success of the center.

Innovations

To celebrate this milestone, OnePlanet Research Center is organizing a dynamic afternoon that will not only look back at the results achieved but also look ahead. Richard van Wezel, Director of Health - Management team OnePlanet Research Center: "The first two studies in healthy subjects using OnePlanet's smart pill to take measurements in the gastrointestinal tract have been successful. This year we want to start studies in patients in cooperation with the Radboudumc."
During the afternoon there will be several demonstrations of developed innovations and the researchers involved invite visitors to ask questions. There will also be ample opportunity for networking during the initial lunch and closing drinks. OnePlanet's founding partners, stakeholders, collaborative partners and other interested parties are cordially invited to attend the event.
