Amsterdam is a leader in the field of life sciences and health. The concentration and cooperation of many forward-thinking research institutions, hospitals, universities, companies and startups form an innovative and dense Life Sciences and Health hub. In 2019 the European Medicine Agency (EMA) moved to Amsterdam, serving as a catalyst for LSH business and conferences. In January 2022, construction began on a new Medical Business Park in the grounds of Amsterdam University Medical Centre (UMC) providing communal lab facilities and offices where purpose-driven medical companies and research institutions can work and collaborate.
The Amsterdam Convention Bureau can connect you to these life sciences partners. By combining and sharing your knowledge, you can ensure a forward-thinking association event that has the potential to make a big impact.
Several associations have chosen to host their event in Amsterdam. This includes the International AIDS Society Conference, the Alzheimer's Association's International Conference, the European Society of Cardiology's Annual Congress and the European Hematology Association congress.
