SURF Research Day 2026

Closing and keynote of Ayca Szapora
2026-05-19 , Plenary room

Ayca Szapora is a neuroscientist, cognitive psychologist and coach.
Ayca graduated with a focus on how creativity works in the brain, unconscious cognitive strategies, and how to change the way your brain solves problems and forms new ideas. In her interactive closing keynote she will shed light on how change works in our brain, how it can (often subconsciously) work against you and how you can give it a helping hand.

By bridging the gap between science and practical application, you will leave the SURF Research Day with enough tips and trics how to connect minds tomorrow when back at work.
