Adore Community

Amsterdam is home to a dynamic community of over 2,000 researchers specializing in neurology and oncology, making it the largest neuro-oncology research hub worldwide. Adore collaborates closely with leading institutions across the campus, including O|2, Amsterdam UMC, the Imaging Center, MATRIX Innovation Center, and the VU Research Facility, fostering an environment of cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

While the majority of our affiliates are based in Amsterdam, Adore welcomes researchers from across the Netherlands and beyond. By expanding our community, we aim to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration, attract top talent, and drive innovative breakthroughs. As a member of Adore, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the research community, provide valuable insights, and grow alongside the initiative.

Our community has three core values

  • Collaborating on groundbreaking onco-neuro research
  • Sharing knowledge and building connections
  • Supporting talent and growth

Events and Activities

Below we showcase both internal and external events designed to support researchers at all career stages, from junior to senior.

Through seminars, workshops, symposia, and social gatherings, these events foster collaboration, spark interdisciplinary dialogue, and drive innovation to improve patient outcomes.
