Organisation and collaborations

How is research within HollandPTC organised, and how do we work together, with our partners and other institutions?

R&D organisation Programme board
HollandPTC is governed by a board of directors under supervision of a supervisory board in which all partner institutions are represented. The R&D programme is governed by the HollandPTC R&D programme board, presently consisting of 2 representatives of each of the current 4 partners. The programme board members are mandated to make decisions regarding the strategy of the research programme.
