💡 Theme: PrepAR&D for Future Generations

What’s the theme?
This year, we’re diving into PrepAR&D for Future Generations. As researchers in AR&D, we each play a vital role in shaping the health and well-being of those who come after us. This retreat offers a chance to explore how we can support healthy development, conduct research that is both sustainable and impactful, and build a healthcare and research system that prioritizes well-being.
But it’s not just about science—we’ll also reflect on how to care for ourselves and each other, ensuring a resilient and future-proof workforce. Join us for this unique opportunity to help shape a healthier future together.
Expect engaging talks, dynamic discussions, and ample opportunities to connect with fellow researchers.
Stay tuned for the full program!
Meet the Committee
As the AR&D Retreat Committee we organize both scientific and social activities to bring researchers together. We ensure your colleagues aren’t just names in an email thread, but real people with interesting ideas. We plan, organize, and yes, occasionally panic—so you don’t have to.
Ever wondered who’s behind the scenes making this year’s Retreat happen? Meet the AR&D Retreat Committee!
