Convergence Square

At Erasmus MC, the first Convergence Square was officially opened just before the summer holidays. In this first Convergence Square people can collaborate on the Convergence of Health & Technology. “The fact that we have created the first meeting space so quickly shows the enormous energy behind the whole convergence initiative,” said Ernst Kuipers, President of the Executive Board of Erasmus MC.

Conversation starter

To get things cooking and to facilitate converging conversation between the three institutions, we created this first Convergence Square (which is actually rectangular :). We offer workspaces/ lab room/ event space that can be booked on a daily basis or for a current project. In short:

Lobby for hosting events (capacity: 30 – 40 people)
Workspaces (capacity: 2 – 4 people)
Large rooms perfect for brainstorm sessions/ or small prototyping workshops (capacity 4-8 people)

So, no perminent rooms available?

Correct! To enable the development of crosscutting convergence we like to keep the available space flexible. That’s why we provide room for temporary projects. Feel free to get in touch with us for more details. Please send an email to convergence.square@erasmusmc.nl
