Mini-symposia/lectures
To promote the formation of a strong infrastructure as well as strong national and international networks, DRA supports a number of open scientific arrangements (mini-symposia or lectures), alone or in cooperation with other universities, academic organisations and/or pharmaceutical companies.
The programmes for future meetings appear on this site as soon as they are available.
