We are thrilled to announce that we kicked-off the Long Life VISION Consortium on November 26, 2024, where key leaders and experts gathered to drive innovation and collaboration in vision science!
Program overview
After a warm welcome by Jeroen Klevering and Caroline Klaver, the three pillars and two platforms were presented, as well as the Career Development Core, the Knowledge Transfer Core, and the Project Support Office.
