In February Suzanne McGowan will give her inaugural lecture. She was appointed professor of Aquatic Ecosystem Dynamics at Utrecht University. Her lecture is followed by a symposium the next day.

Under the banner of the National Science Agenda, a broad programme of three living labs and an umbrella project started in 2021. During the symposium at Hotel Zuiderduin (Egmond aan Zee), interim results of the research programme will be presented, two external keynote speakers will share inspiring experiences and there will be time in the workshop sessions to reflect and give input.

On Thursday April 4 we'll have the Farewell Symposium and reception for our long-time colleague Prof. Dr Wietse de Boer (Department of Microbial Ecology at NIOO and Wageningen University).
