Who are we?

The Foundation Friends of the Hubrecht Institute is led by director Dr. Paul Bouter, supported by Anne Mieke Franken (fundraising and communication) and Margriet Mijer (administrative support).

Essential for the foundation are the Friends, the board and the (young) ambassadors.

Hubrecht College

The Hubrecht College is an initiative from the Friends of the Hubrecht to introduce a large audience to the ground-breaking research that is being done at the Hubrecht Institute. Scientists from the Hubrecht discuss their work and explain why their research is so important for breakthroughs in the development of drugs for the treatment and diagnosis of diseases such as cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
Like a traditional lecture, there is a speaker giving a lecture and above all intends to interact with the audience: guests can ask questions and the speaker will also ask questions to the audience. In short: a unique, interesting and inspiring evening.

Guided tours for sponsors

The Friends Foundation also organizes tours for sponsors. Is your company or association interested in sponsoring ground-breaking science? To thank you we could organise a tour for you. During our tours there will be lectures by principal investigators, visiting a real lab and having a drink with our scientists.
