This year the meeting will be focussed on Neurodevelopmental disorders: Causes, Consequences and Cures


This one-day meeting aims to present recent results from across the many Institutes and clinics across the country and to stimulate discussion, networking opportunities and potential future collaborations. The meeting will kick-off with a talk from Professor Prof. Vittorio Gallo, from Children's National Medical Center and George Washington University, US. The programme will be featuring junior and senior researchers from across a variety of institutes and clinics across the Netherlands.
