In total 39 members of LymphChip attended the program representing the academic partners, co-financing partners and the Advisory Board.

The first day consisted of news updates on behalf of all the work packages. Most attendees joined for dinner that evening. On the second day invited lectures were given by representatives from industry and the Advisory Board followed by break-out sessions on topics selected on the spot and relating to technological and biological challenges. The newly designed chip, the design of which was drafted at one of the breakout sessions in the previous Annual Meeting attracted a lot of interest.

Representatives from the co-financing partners and the Advisory Board indicated that the meeting was very insightful and stimulated the young researchers to exploit the LymphChip network.
