From VR journeys through the bloodstream to dinosaur bone labs, cleanroom gowning, pipetting stations, DNA art, and psychology experiments, this year’s Dutch Bio Science Week’s Open Day made science tangible and accessible to all ages.

And it was only possible thanks to the incredible support and participation of our community and partners:
