Who to meet?

Since 2007, the MatchPoints conference series has been a meeting place for leading scientists, journalists, business leaders and politicians, and this year is no exception. The focus on our fascinating brain brings together a large number of researchers from medical sciences as well as researchers from the humanities, political science, and the technical and natural sciences.
