This year 2022, Leiden is the European City of Science. On June 11th Theme LEGend ornanized a day for the public around the “Lifecourse”, with a comprehensive program covering topics from the beginning of the life course until the end. The program had plenary talks starting from conception and pregnancy and ending with the oldest old. In the Market place visitors were informed by our scientists and experienced the weight of pregnancy and how it feels to be be old.
How does life start? How does it feel to be old? Learn about the lifecycle with the LUMC. Listen to interesting presentations and follow the workshops. Get dressed in a feeling-older-suit, and feel how it is to be 20 years older. And feel how it feels to be pregnant.
And deliver a baby yourself! Feel welcome, from young to older.
On June 20th 2022 the fourth annual meeting of ‘The Dutch Society for Research on Ageing’ will be hosted in Leiden. The meeting will be held in person at the Scheltema Complex in Leiden
