Join Us In ROTTERDAM
Erasmus Medical Center is located in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Attendees traveling from outside the Netherlands can fly directly to Rotterdam or Amsterdam and them train to Rotterdam from the Amsterdam airport.
The meeting often uses the Mainport hotel (10-15 min walk to Erasmus MC); however, there are many lodging possibilities, and delegates are welcome to stay wherever they like.
