NVVI Spring Symposium March 23 & 24, 2023

Dear Immunologists,

It is my great pleasure to invite you to the NVVI-DSI Spring Symposium 2023 that we will host March 23 & 24. This educational meeting will embark on new horizons and move from its former location in Lunteren to our new venue at van der Valk hotel Tiel. We have invited 13 national and international experts in the field of immunology to teach us on the latest developments immunology has to offer.

We hope you will join us for the NVVI Spring Symposium 2023 to meet up with each other and our speakers, to enjoy their great lectures and the opportunity to discuss their or your research in person!

On behalf of the entire committee,

Kind regards,

Martijn Nawijn
Chair of the NVVI Spring Symposium committee
