We are happy to announce that this year’s ERN-RND annual meeting – CARE-RND23 – will be a 2-day event, scheduled on 19th and 20th September 2023 in Leuven, Belgium.
This year’s meeting will be a hybrid meeting. We expect that one representative of each HCP will be in Leuven. Additionally, we will open the online participation to as many colleagues from ERN-RND as possible. The non-internal parts of the meeting will also be opened to external participants.
