Inauguration Robbert Biesbroek 5.9.2025

Dear colleagues, family and friends,

On 5 September Robbert Biesbroek will be inaugurated as professor. 

Robbert would like us to give a donation to the Dutch KWF cancer research institute instead of other presents for his inauguration. Therefore we have created a link for a collective donation: Link to the page for a donation. 

You donation is important; globally, about 1 in 5 people will develop cancer during their lifetime. Every little bit of help financing cancer research counts.  

On behalf of Robbert and KWF: thank you!

Beste collega’s, family and friends, 

Op 5 september wordt Robbert Biesbroek geïnaugureerd als hoogleraar. 

Robbert wil graag dat we in plaats van cadeaus een donatie aan het KWF Kankerbestrijding geven. Daarom is er een link aangemaakt voor een collectieve donatie: Link naar de KWF webpagina voor donatie. 

Jouw donatie is belangrijk; wereldwijd krijgt ongeveer 1 op de 5 mensen in zijn of haar leven kanker. Alle beetjes helpen om kankeronderzoek te financieren. 

Namens Robbert en KWF: dank je wel!
