Utrecht was selected for our symposium due to its central location in the Netherlands, and importantly ideally situated in the vicinity of universities with ultrasonic research activity. These include UMC Utrecht, which hosts the Center for Image Sciences (CIS), a Focused Ultrasound Foundation Centre of Excellence; Eindhoven University of Technology, which hosts PULS/e (Photoacoustics & Ultrasound Laboratory Eindhoven); and Delft University of Technology. Utrecht can be reached via a thirty-minute train journey from Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport.
We invite you to look at the Call for Presentations information below, for registration, planning your trip with us to Utrecht, and our Tuesday evening event. We hope to see you there!
