Changes in the NVVI Board: farewell of Peter Heeringa and a new opportunity

After many enjoyable and valuable years, an end is coming
to Peter Heeringa's term on the NVVI board. We would like to
Peter sincerely thank him for his commitment and his important contribution
to our association.

Peter will fortunately remain involved as chairman of the working group of
Preclinical Health Research of COREON (formerly Federa). In
connection with his departure, we are looking for a successor who will maintain the
connection between the NVVI and the COREON working group.

We are focusing on candidates working in preclinical
immunological research and who have the ambition to build a bridge
between our board and the researchers within COREON. This role offers an
excellent opportunity to contribute to promoting innovations and
collaboration within our field.

We are looking forward to the arrival of a new colleague who will join us in shaping the
future of NVVI. When selecting a
candidate, we pay attention to diversity within the board members, also in terms of
centres/regions represented.
