Informatiebijeenkomst nieuw platform zorg en welzijn 

De levenskwaliteit van inwoners van het buitengebied verbeteren door zorg en welzijn dichterbij te brengen. Daaraan werkt Health Valley samen met de Gemeente Lingewaard, Stichting Welzijn Lingewaard en Rijnstate. Vanuit het Europese project dRural bouwen ze een gebruiksvriendelijk, duurzaam en regionaal digitaal dienstenplatform met de naam Samen Kwiek. Het doel: betere zichtbaarheid en samenwerking tussen de nulde lijn (waaronder sociaal domein en welzijn), eerste lijn (waaronder huisartsen en fysiotherapeuten), en tweede lijn (zoals het ziekenhuis). Door laagdrempelig in te zetten op preventie, voelen mensen zich gezonder en fijner en voorkomen we dure (ziekenhuis)zorg.

Andere partijen kunnen aansluiten

Health Valley, de Gemeente Lingewaard, Stichting Welzijn Lingewaard en Rijnstate hebben samen met diverse belanghebbenden uit de regio de basis van het platform uitgedacht. Nu komt er het moment waarop nog meer partijen uit heel Nederland mee kunnen denken en werken aan het platform. Partijen kunnen zich inschrijven vanaf 1 oktober. Een externe commissie beoordeelt alle inschrijvingen. Als je wordt geselecteerd, ontvang je vanuit het project € 5.000,- of € 50.000,- subsidie (afhankelijk van je bijdrage aan het platform: simple service of complex service). We zoeken zorgpartijen, maar ook bedrijven uit heel Nederland die willen aanhaken, denk aan bedrijven:

  • Die data/informatie genereren of verwerken in het sociaal en zorgdomein of informatie toevoegen aan het platform
  • PGB-bedrijven die patiëntgegevens beheren
  • Bedrijven die applicaties ontwikkeld hebben die gebruikt worden door patiënten in het domein gezondheid/welzijn (voeding, slaap, activiteit, enz.)
  • Bedrijven die communicatie en zorgsamenwerk tussen professionals en tussen professionals en patiënten mogelijk maken
  • Bedrijven met softwaretools die door professionals worden gebruikt om hun praktijken, afdelingen, workflows te beheren (bijv. EPD’s, planningstools, CRM’s, enz.)

Informatieavond

Om meer te weten te komen over het platform en mogelijke deelname, is er op 27 september van 19.30 tot 21.30 uur een informatiebijeenkomst in de Theaterkerk in Bemmel. Op 28 september is deze bijeenkomst op hetzelfde tijdstip ook online te volgen. Onder andere wethouder Aart Slob is bij de bijeenkomst aanwezig en daarna gaan we met elkaar in gesprek over de mogelijkheden van het nieuwe platform. Aanmelden voor de bijeenkomst kan via: info@samenkwiek.nu.

Webinar Prinsjesdag 2022

Op dinsdag 20 september tijdens Prinsjesdag maakt het kabinet het Belastingplan 2023 bekend met daarin de voorgenomen wijzigingen voor het komend jaar. Wat zijn de belangrijkste fiscale veranderingen en ontwikkelingen? En wat betekenen deze voor u en uw organisatie? Tijdens ons webinar Prinsjesdag 2022 gaan we hier dieper op in. We bespreken de meest opvallende en relevante wijzigingen voor zowel de ondernemer, de (internationale) onderneming als organisaties in de publieke sector. Wat kunt u verwachten en hoe kunt u inspelen op de plannen van het kabinet? De specialisten van BDO zorgen dat u in één uur (van 15:00 tot 16:00)  helemaal up-to-date bent. Deelname aan dit webinar is kosteloos.

Science Café @Waal beach > Biodiversity
science and solutions

Science Café Nijmegen is kicking off the new season with a special event. During Fête de la Nature, the Science Café will move out from the pub into the wild, beautiful nature of the Waal beach of the Ooyse Schependom. On the evening of Sunday September 4th, around sunset, professors David Kleijn (WUR) and George Kowalchuk (UU) will bring us up to speed (in Dutch) on the topic of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. It’s no secret that matters are looking dire in this area. Recent decades have seen an unprecedented rapid decline in the amount of plant- and animal species, resulting in an increasing pressure on nature, being largely caused by human actions. Does this also mean that the right actions can reverse this trend and prevent a collapse of vital ecosystems? What are the right actions?
David Kleijn tries to answer this question using insights in ecological mechanisms and processes, and by factoring in agronomic, economic, and social aspects. Amid the Waal river landscape he will discuss effective strategies for realizing sustainable land use and nature management. The vast majority of biodiversity is invisible to the naked eye; this part is microbial and located underground. George Kowalchuk will introduce us to this bustling, hidden world. He will also discuss plant-microbe interactions and the essential role of the soil microbial flora in the conservation and restoration of nature and biodiversity. This evening by the riverside Tia Mangola will fuel the ambience with their Brazilian samba and bossa nova; will you bring your snacks and drinks (and maybe also something to sit on)? Everyone is invited to come enjoy and participate, weather permitting. Keep an eye on the known SC channels to be sure!

CITC and Henkel forge partnership to accelerate high-thermal die attach solutions

Chip Integration Technology Center (CITC) and Henkel announced today that the organizations have formalized an agreement to collaborate on the development of high-thermal die attach solutions for RF and power electronics. Under the terms of the partnership, Henkel will supply commercialized and developmental pressureless sintering die attach formulations and CITC will provide testing and analysis of the materials within next-generation package designs. 

CITC’s Thermal High-Performance Packaging program focuses on thermo-mechanical design strategies and device packaging platforms that integrate low-stress, high-reliability rugged interconnect solutions. As die attach and molding materials are often limiting factors for the optimal operation of RF and power packages, Henkel is the ideal partner or innovation in this application area.

In addition to ongoing work in its state-of-the-art R&D centers, Henkel wants to accelerate time-to-market for its semiconductor packaging materials through strategic relationships across industry, government, and academia. CITC, which collaborates with leading power and RF device packaging companies, provides a unique opportunity to characterize and analyze Henkel’s high-thermal die attach formulations as an enabler for leading-edge device designs.

“Henkel’s pressureless sintering die attach materials are already proven in certain mobile applications,” explained Ramachandran “Ram” Trichur, the company’s Global Market Segment Head, Semiconductor Packaging Materials. “We want to extend that success to other sectors such as automotive, where large, high-power chips are the norm. Our pressureless sintering solutions are unique because they deliver the simple, low-stress processability of conventional die attach adhesives and very high thermal conductivity capabilities. The work at CITC will augment our in-house projects, allowing additional performance and reliability validation.”

The new die attach technology has the potential to enable the replacement of lead (Pb) within RF and power semiconductor devices that incorporate larger die on copper leadframes, allowing the introduction of high operating temperature gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC) power die technologies. Many of CITC’s partners are actively integrating these new chip structures, making the cooperative project an excellent proving ground for Henkel’s pressureless sintering platform.

“In Henkel, we have found a material innovator that will enable the development of power and RF devices with a holistic approach that leverages the latest in die attach technology,” concluded CITC General Manager, Jeroen van den Brand. “With many major power device manufacturers based in Europe, and in Nijmegen in particular, we view this partnership as vital to satisfying the current and future demands within these important market sectors.”
