Lorentz Center
The Lorentz Center is a workshop center that hosts international scientific meetings in all scientific disciplines and for everyone who is active in research, at all levels and in all scientific fields. Our workshops are characterized by an open and interactive atmosphere and their high scientific quality. We aim to bring scientific fields and minds together and we focus on new collaborations and on interactions in highly diverse groups of researchers. We hold that diversity of scientific viewpoints, geographic origin as well as seniority, gender and culture is essential for research now and in the future.

Stichting Biowetenschap en Maatschappij
The objective of Stichting Biowetenschappen en Maatschappij (BWM) is to support as many interested Dutch people as possible to form their opinion on various themes within the life sciences. The foundation publishes booklets, articles and teaching materials on a broad spectrum of life sciences topics, ranging from medical sciences to biotechnology and biology. In these, an overview of scientific developments of the current state of affairs is provided, to serve as a starting point to participate in the social debate. Four publications appear on a yearly basis in addition to essays on the website. The publications distinguish themselves from many other popular scientific publications in that they are written by leading scientists working on the relevant subject in The Netherlands or abroad. The editorial team also consists of experts, so that a high degree of reliability is achieved.
