Mini-lectures Zwarte Cross, episode 1: Beer and IT, is it a good idea? (video in Dutch)

The Universitent was packed every time. Scientists and students talked about smart chips, sustainability, robotics, climate disasters and much more. A unique setting, because does science have any business at a festival? We can now answer that question with a resounding 'yes'.

Beer and IT, is it a good idea? (Part two)

A lot can happen in two years, UT researcher Ton Spil noticed. In 2022, he was already talking about beer and IT at the Zwarte Cross. After his story, many breweries contacted him. Ton now works with the Bergbrouwerij, Twentsche brewery, Stanislaus and the Bronckhorster brewing company and tells about it. 

About the 'Universitent'

This summer UT scientists and students gave a total of 15 mini-lectures for three days. UT professor Guus Rijnders, one of the organisers of the Universitent, provided musical interludes with his band between the lectures. Guus also gave a lecture himself. Science on Tour students inspired visitors with scientific experiments.
