Welcome addresses - why we have met on the Life Science Open Space since 2009, what we expect to achieve and how all of us can contribute to the better HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. This time we will focus on the collaborative fight against CANCER. In this short introductory session, the following will be explained: - why do we expect to have an impact by inviting a diversity of expertise and different perspectives - why do we focus on the fight against CANCER - what is in the program and how to make the best use of it - how to make sure we will not stop here. We will introduce partners and collaborators and set the scene for the next 4 days. Make sure you do not miss this session and stay tuned for all four days.
