Scientists and scholars who have organised previous Academy Colloquia have this to say:

• 'Our colloquium was a top-flight meeting of the most brilliant scientists in our field. The Academy’s help in organising it was excellent and I cannot imagine a form of knowledge-sharing to match it in terms of efficiency.'
  
• 'The added value of an Academy Colloquium is its small scale and the fact that the participants have the chance to really interact.'
  
• 'Academy Colloquia give us the chance to explore a specific and relevant subject in-depth. The Trippenhuis Building emphasises the special nature of the colloquium.'
  
• 'The most prominent researchers in our field attended the colloquium and were very enthusiastic about the programme and fantastic location. The colloquium led to various new international partnerships and networks.'
