Plenary Closing Panel Discussion 

8 October 2026| 16:15 - 16:45

The Netherlands consistently ranks among the world’s most innovative countries. In life sciences, too, we excel at early-stage innovation. However, when it comes to translating scientific discoveries into tangible impact for patients and society, we still have ground to cover.

This panel will focus on the three themes of DMD 2026: Innovation, Translation and Cure. Where are the main obstacles, and, more importantly, what concrete steps can we take today, rather than tomorrow, to overcome them?

No more reports: it is time for action. What needs to change, and who should make it happen? Join us for the closing panel and expect some (legal) fireworks!
