Arthur Mol, Rector Magnificus of WUR and host of the annual conference 2023: 'I believe that science and technology can and should play a key role in creating a healthy and sustainable future. But, to this end, we must join forces and work across disciplines. That is precisely what the EWUU alliance is about. Thus, we can offer a unique contribution to the scientific breakthroughs society so urgently needs.' A multifaceted approach to health.
