The Science for Life conference shows high-level interdisciplinary research in fundamental Life Sciences. Utrecht scientists, students, policy makers and entrepreneurs in the fields of molecular, cellular, pharmaceutical sciences and plant biology, interact during this event. Outstanding international keynote speakers share their latest work and insights. Young Utrecht researchers present their work during the Poster Session and Parallel Sessions.

During the 2023 Science for Life Conference we expect over 400 attendees from the life sciences community at Utrecht Science Park. This is the place to meet your fundamental and technology-oriented colleagues in the Utrecht life sciences.

Science for Life is a collaboration of research groups from Utrecht University and the UMC Utrecht, in the fields of molecular, cellular and pharmaceutical sciences as well as plant biology. We operate in close interaction with the Hubrecht Institute and Princess Maxima Center and aim to build a campus-wide community for fundamental life scientists, fostering high-level interdisciplinary research.
