Hello, EMPA community!

On October 25-26th the EMPA is coming back home to it’s founding city in Groningen, the Netherlands. This year’s conference is going to address an incredibly important issue: Mental Health. It is going to be a perfect moment for junior researchers, (aspiring) MD/PhD students, medical doctors, and biomedical researchers who want to share their experiences and journeys as future physician-scientists. As in previous editions, participants are going to have the opportunity to present their research in front of colleagues and expert scientists, and challenge themselves in a dynamic and stimulating environment!
