Gala van de Wetenschap 2024
In 2013, this brand new concept was created: het Gala van de Wetenschap. The event has now become a household name. We have already welcomed many top scientists to the stage, including André Kuipers, Marion Koopmans and Ben Feringa.
On Thursday, November 7, 2024, New Scientist will pay tribute to science for the twelfth time, with none other than writer Arnon Grunberg as curator. Come to this festive evening!
