Nijmegen, the Netherlands, 28 -29 August 2025
The conference will take place at the campus of Radboud University, in Nijmegen, the Netherlands on 28 and 29 August 2025. The conference is organized by the COST-Action network GREATLEAP, in collaboration with the Radboud University Nijmegen, the HiDo network, and the IUSSP Panel ‘Epidemics and Contagious Diseases: The Legacy of the Past’. The conference serves as a closing event of the NWO-funded research project Lifting the burden of disease. The modernisation of health in the Netherlands: Amsterdam, 1854-1926. It also marks the end of the academic career of professor Angélique Janssens, who directed this research project. The conference will therefore be concluded by a farewell reception.
