Dogs with osteoarthritis benefit from a new treatment: an injection that delivers a painkiller with a long-term effect, safely and effectively.

On Monday 27 March 2023, Utrecht University will celebrate its 387th Dies Natalis, or birthday. The theme of the Dies celebration is The climate crisis - between reflection and action.

Picture this: it is the year 2060. Climate change has changed the earth. We now live with water, and no longer fight it. Sustainability is at the heart of politics. Ecocide is a crime.
