What a week it was at #ISPGR2025 last week!

It was really special to have so many amazing colleagues productively interacting in our city (with encouragement from @melvynroerdink.bsky.social)! Thanks to all involved in the planning and organisation @ispgr.bsky.social and all who attended!

Great week at ISPGR! Massive thank you to the board and hosts for putting a great program together. Engaging and thought-provoking oral and poster presentations, reconnecting with colleagues and friends, and fostering new relationships! Already counting down to Kyoto 2027! 🇯🇵

Goodbye Maastricht and #ISPGR2025!

Conclusion: The World Congress of the @ispgr.bsky.social remains my favorite academic event and community.

I leave with new partners, new friends, and lots of fresh inspiration and ideas for future scientific advancements.

See you in Kyoto for #ISPGR2027!

Back home from my first @ispgr.bsky.social world conference

Enjoyed all the presentations and was particularly impressed by the high level of interaction within the society during both the oral and poster sessions. 👏

Great kick-start to ##ispgr2025 with Professor Peter Shull. Fav quote 😂:

"..the head is just a big pelvis.."

Incredible insight into his journey of research and industry experience.

If this were a normal @ispgr.bsky.social and I would be handling the official account as usual, this is the moment I would sign off. Not this year. Keynote tomorrow at 8:30. Party in full swing. Loving it! See you all tomorrow! #ispgr2025

Really enjoyed the exergames for health symposium at #ISPGR2025. There is solid evidence for its effects and hardware for fitness and clinical application (at home) is getting scalable (I am biased, but AR glasses from our sponsor #Strolll may be the goto tech soon for exergaming in neurorehab).
