We are pleased to have met so many of you at the NVTB meeting: Schoorl 2023 edition. All in all it was a very fun meeting with a total of 44 participants and lots of very interesting theoretical biology! As per tradition, we managed to get lost in the dunes. Many thanks to all of those who provided a talk (See programme).

Official minutes from the general assembly can be found on this link. At this general assembly, Timo van Eldijk stepped down as secretary and Magdalena Kozielska-Reid stepped down as treasurer. We would like to thank them for their efforts! Martijn de Jong has been installed as the new secretary and Erika Tsingos has been installed as the new treasurer. In addition we can already announce that the Schoorl meeting next year will take place on May 7th and 8th 2024. So you can already save the date!
