A-LIFE microbiologist Remco Kort is organising the first edition of the annual ARTIS Planetary Health Congress on July 5, 6 and 7 in collaboration with Health Holland, Top Sector Horticulture & Starting Materials and Top Sector Agri & Food.

The Planetary Health Congress offers a unique opportunity for individuals from different (scientific and business) fields to come together and explore the interconnectedness of our planet’s health and our own. Through keynote speeches, workshops and networking opportunities, attendees can learn about the latest research and strategies for promoting Planetary Health.

The scientific congress on Planetary Health at ARTIS will be opened by the Mayor of Amsterdam Femke Halsema and takes place over three days of presentations and interactive workshops. It explores how four research themes connect to human and planetary health: Earth, Water, Food and Humans. The programme includes presentations of the VU -researchers Matty Berg and Jaap Seidell and builds around these four themes. Besides key notes and action talks there will be interactive workshops on Wednesday July 5 and Friday July 7.
