April the 22nd.

This meeting is an informal gathering of people working on Theoretical
Biology in the Netherlands. It is situated in Schoorl, at the
'Schoorlse duinen', one of the most beautiful natural sites in the
Netherlands. Participants are given the opportunity to present their

or during the evening.
