Convergence

The pressing and complex social challenges of our time call for convergence; crossing boundaries between institutions and disciplines to create new perspectives and solutions. For this reason, TU Delft, Erasmus MC and Erasmus University Rotterdam joined forces in Convergence. Within the convergence theme Health and Technology, we integrate knowledge, expertise and methodology from different domains to form novel frameworks to foster scientific discovery and innovation in health and healthcare. We do this by working on groundbreaking research and innovation bundled in 10 international leading research Flagships.

Flagships

Ten Flagship projects of the Convergence will conduct research aimed at making healthcare future-proof. The health care system faces complex problems. An increasing demand for care and an extremely tight labor market are putting the sustainability of our health care system to the test. To make healthcare future-proof, scaling up is needed. With the Flagships, we contribute to better outcomes and care for patients, a healthier population, the sustainability of our healthcare and global innovation.
