Science for Life Conference
Without understanding how things work, we can’t fix them when they’re broken. In this day of modern diseases, this is critical. Fundamental science - biology, chemistry, physics, math – is our toolbox with which we can make smart solutions for medicine, our environment and technology. The University of Utrecht will celebrate fundamental science on the Science for Life conference on November 14th 2022.
