Healthy Start Conference

09 November 2021 13:00 till 18:00 - By: Communication | Add to my calendar

You are invited to attend the Healthy Start Conference on 9 November either in-person (De Fruitvis, Rotterdam) or via livestreams.

Healthy Start is a scientific initiative to "break unequal starting points in the lives of children and young adults". The initiative aims to join forces with socially engaged institutions, as well as medical, technical and social sciences. By doing so, the Healthy Start initiative can better address the complex issues surrounding healthy starts from birth to adolescence by exchanging knowledge and initiating impactful projects.
