The morning session of the conference, titled “Medical protection: innovation in production & respiratory protection,” set the stage for a series of enlightening presentations from several RESERVIST partners. Gertrude Kignelman from Centexbel, Bert Groenendaal from SIOEN, and Peter Hazendonk from Hospitainer shed light on the project’s results, testing and certification processes, the re-design of textile protective equipment for production via alternative lines, as well as the rapid deployment of emergency hospitals. Their insightful discussions provided attendees with valuable insights into the achievements of the RESERVIST project.
The afternoon session gave the opportunity to visit Hospitainer and explored the emergency hospital and other RESERVIST products. This experience allowed participants to witness the practical implications of the project’s outcomes, further solidifying their appreciation for the efforts put forth by the RESERVIST team.
