MTEC Day 2022
On 4 November 2022, the MTEC Department honoured its MSc, MAS and doctoral graduates at this year’s MTEC Day. MTEC Day is an annual event that brings together graduates, alumni, faculty and key stakeholders from business and academia with the aim of strengthening the personal and professional relationships between them.

The Role of Immersive Technologies in the Future of the Knowledge Industry
