Renewed Medical Public Academy
The University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) has announced the renewal of its highly popular Medical Public Academy. Established in 2008, the academy serves as a platform to provide accessible information about the scientific research conducted at the UMCG. This initiative was launched in collaboration with Dagblad van het Noorden, a reputable local newspaper.
Traditionally, the Medical Public Academy organized six lectures every spring and autumn, offering valuable insights into the groundbreaking research carried out at the UMCG. These lectures took place in the iconic Blue Hall, attracting a diverse audience and fostering a culture of knowledge sharing.
However, due to the unprecedented challenges posed by the global COVID-19 pandemic, physical meetings became impossible. In response, the Medical Public Academy adapted swiftly by broadcasting the lectures online. This decision allowed a larger number of people to participate and benefit from the valuable information shared by esteemed speakers.
Building on the success of these online broadcasts, the Medical Public Academy has decided to take a step further and replace the lectures with a series of four episodes per year. Each episode will be approximately 20 minutes long, providing concise and focused discussions on various medical research topics. These episodes will be available for viewing on the UMCG YouTube channel, ensuring easy accessibility for interested individuals.
The decision to switch to a broadcast format not only enables wider participation but also allows for a more flexible and convenient experience for viewers. Now, anyone with an internet connection can access the Medical Public Academy’s insightful discussions from the comfort of their home, workplace, or any location of their choosing.
The renewed Medical Public Academy demonstrates UMCG’s commitment to sharing knowledge and promoting public understanding of medical research. By embracing the online medium, the academy ensures that crucial information reaches a broader audience, transcending geographical boundaries and democratizing access to valuable insights.
The first episode of the renewed Medical Public Academy series is scheduled to air this autumn. As we eagerly await the thought-provoking discussions that lie ahead, we commend the UMCG for its commitment to innovation and accessibility in the field of medical research.]
