Track 1: Sustainable Quality of life

Health, wellbeing and demographic change

Program for Track 1

As the population increases in both number, wealth and age, it becomes ever more challenging to ensure peoples wellbeing and health with increasing efficiency and reduced environmental impact. This track covers medical technology and other solutions to ensure a long life of high quality in the future.

  • #  indicates number in book of abstracts
  • Download book of abstracts (6 Mb)
  • For a map for the poster session and conference locations, see Where to go.
  • You sjould bring your presentation ready on both your laptop and on a memory stick. Exchanging laptops often gives problems and there you must be ready to quickly use another computer.
  • Talks are organized in the tracks and your track will tell you specifically what to do in that session.
  • In some tracks the track chair will require you upload the presentation beforehand.
  • There will be laser pointers and adapters available for the talks.


  • 11:30 Pitch Talks for all in Track-1 in Meeting Room 1 (1st floor)
    Chaired by Ramneek Gupta
    All participants in track-1 will deliver max-2-minute elevator pitches within smaller groups. Each group then selects one pitch for presentation to all in Track-1. An 'elevator-pitch’ here characterises a concise and broadly understandable introduction of yourself and your work at DTU. Keep in mind that while there is a common theme within a track, there is still a wide range of research interests represented, and these pitches will need to be interesting, understandable by the diverse audience as well as concise ! It is expected that pitches will range in length from 30 seconds upwards, but not more than 2 minutes long.
