QuMat 2025 Yearly meeting in Utrecht

Please note – after receiving the registrations, we have decided to make the yearly meeting two days instead of the original three.

The second QuMat yearly meeting will take place 27 – 28 October in Utrecht at the Anatomiegebouw!

The Yearly meeting is a three-day meeting where all QuMat scientists, associated members as well as the two advisory boards (SAC / ISOAC) are invited.

During these days we come together to share scientific results, discus challenges and opportunities within the consortium, and find new cross-pillar collaborations.

Registration

Registration for contributions is closed. Please reach out to the office if you still want to joint the meeting!
