NETWORK PLAZA

The Network Plaza will form the heart of Synergy. Outside of the plenary sessions, a continuous programme will be held at the Network Plaza. It offers, for example, possibilities to network, roundtable discussions with experts, and an info market with organisations from science, society and industry.

Meet the keynotes or Meet the board

Do you take one of the most wanted seats during Synergy conference 2019? Keynote speakers and members of the NWO SSH board will be available to answer your questions and talk about the SSH topics you most care about.
