S4L Cafés
The S4L Cafés are an attractive meeting place for new and established scientists from our S4L community. Typically, a S4L Café hosts two presentations with speakers from different backgrounds, presenting and discussing their latest research on related scientific topics.
The goal is to promote community building among the more fundamental and technology-oriented researchers of Utrecht life sciences, and to inspire each other with examples of ongoing research and technologies. Participants come from the whole S4L community, ranging from the Faculties of Science and Veterinary Medicine, UMCU, Princess Maxima Centre and the Hubrecht Institute. The science part is followed by drinks & bites, so S4L Cafés are inspiring and fun to attend!
Upcoming S4L Cafés are also announced under events and via the Life Sciences newsletter.
