Be Open About Animal Research Day

At Orsi Academy, transparency is an important part of our commitment to advancing healthcare innovation responsibly. Each year, we participate in BOARD Days (Be Open About Animal Research Day), an initiative that promotes open dialogue about the role of animal research in scientific and medical progress. Through this participation, we aim to inform the public about our work, answer questions openly, and contribute to a fact-based discussion on research and innovation.

Be Open About Animal Research Day

Media Presence

Orsi Academy and its experts regularly contribute to public discussions on healthcare innovation, surgical robotics, and the future of medicine. 

Through television programmes, newspaper articles, podcasts, interviews, and online media, Prof. Alexandre Mottrie, Dr. ir. Pieter De Backer, and other members of the Orsi community frequently share their expertise with a wider audience. 

Recent examples include appearances in Topdokters van Morgen, De Tafel van Gert, and national news coverage surrounding Europe's first tele-surgical procedures. 

These examples represent only a fraction of the many media contributions made by Orsi Academy and its experts each year. 

Building the Future Together

We work closely with leading organisations, industry partners, researchers, and technology experts to develop the next generation of healthcare solutions. A notable example is our collaboration with Jan De Nul Group in the development of the Orsi campus, combining expertise from different sectors to create a world-class environment for education, research, and innovation.

These examples are only a snapshot of our activities. Every year, we contribute to numerous initiatives, collaborations, and outreach efforts that support our mission of advancing healthcare through education, research, and innovation.
