Networking Opportunities

It is important to EACR that participants at meetings in the EACR Conference Series are able to discuss, share and create new connections and collaborations. This is a vital aspect of going to any scientific meeting, and we aim to create as many opportunities as possible to do this.

Networking Reception

Monday 13 March 17.15 - 18.30

A hot buffet dinner will be served prior to the evening Keynote Lecture, and this will be an ideal opportunity for participants to get to know each other and enjoy the unique venue of De Rode Hoed. De Rode Hoed’s Great Hall is the largest and oldest remaining hidden church in the Netherlands.

Round Table Discussions

Wednesday 15 March 14.30-16.00 (coffee served) 

This session enables participants and speakers to converse informally in smaller groups. Participants are free to ask any questions they like and to move freely between the tables of different speakers. 

It will be followed later in the evening by the Conference Dinner, which can be purchased alongside registration as an optional extra.

Meet the Expert Session
