OSC-W | The Open Lab: Hacking and Building Laboratory Instruments for Better Science

June 25 @ 12:30 am - 1:30 pm

Join us for lunch on June 25th to explore the potential of open hardware and software in scientific research at WUR. This meeting welcomes anyone interested in understanding research at WUR related to open hardware and software. It is ideal for those looking to learn about these topics, gain insights, or consider possible costs and benefits.

From breaking vendor lock-ins to creating customised, cost-effective solutions, we will explore how modifying and building laboratory instruments can lead to more adaptable, efficient research tools.

Vincent de Boer (Human and Animal Physiology) and Johannes Hohlbein (Laboratory of Biophysics) will share their experiences and perspectives, providing insights into overcoming software limitations, reducing costs, and developing equipment tailored to specific research needs.

Whether you are interested in technical strategies or practical applications, this session will provide valuable ideas on making laboratory instrumentation more open, accessible and effective.
