Are you researching circularity or interested in making your work more circular?
This informal get-together is an opportunity to connect with fellow TU/e researchers working on sustainability and circularity—whether in engineering, design, AI, or other fields. Many of us are tackling similar challenges, yet we may not know each other.
Join The Session To
- Meet other researchers working on sustainability and circularity
- Learn more about circular research
- Get to know each other through an interactive workshop
- Networking over drinks
Working at WUR, UU or UMCU? You are very welcome to join us, and meet your EWUU colleagues from TU/e.

Agenda
14:00 – Welcome
14:15 – 14:45 Shifting mindsets towards a more responsible and circular relationship with surgical robots
Robotic surgery is often praised for improving patient outcomes, but what about its environmental impact? While robotic surgery offers benefits like greater precision and faster recovery times, it also generates significant waste and emissions.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In this session, you will discover how a transdisciplinary team—including social scientists, surgeons, engineers, designers, and artists—is tackling this challenge from unexpected angles. How does the team combine Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Social Impact Analysis, True Cost Analysis (TCA), technical evaluation, and a visual artwork (by Maria Koijck) to drive meaningful change?
Artwork by Maria Koijck
The team consists out of: Juliette van Haren – TU/e, Scarlett Wang – WUR, Sanne Jansen – UMC Utrecht, Laura Piscicelli – UU and Julie Legrand – TU/e

15:00 – 16:00 Networking Workshop
Sustainability in surgical robotics is just one piece of the puzzle—how can we embed circularity across all areas of research? In this interactive workshop, we invite you to explore ways to integrate circularity into your own work.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Through guided discussions, you will engage with colleagues from different fields to identify opportunities for change. Whether you are just beginning to think about sustainability or already implementing circular strategies, join us to reflect, share, and co-create solutions for a more circular future in research!
16:00 Drinks
Join us for drinks in the Zwarte Doos Café.
This Get-Together is part of TU/e’s Green Week. From May 19th to 23rd, students and staff get to immerse themselves in all things Sustainable! For more information, please see their website.
Meet i4CS, meet each other, join us and be part of the conversation on circular and sustainable research!
