International Symposium on Usher Syndrome
June 19, 20, and 21, 2025
Van der Valk Hotel Nijmegen-Lent, The Netherlands
The International Symposium on Usher Syndrome, USH 2025, will be organized in Nijmegen (NL) on June 19th, 20th and 21st 2025.
Knowledge sharing, cross-pollination and meeting are the focus on Thursday and Friday, with a strong emphasis on scientists and researchers in the field. During these days, the scientific symposium provides a platform for in-depth exchange of knowledge and insights. On Saturday, during USH2025 Congrestival, the most compelling contributions and lectures from the scientific symposium days will be shared with the USH Community - people with Ushersyndrome, their families and loved ones.
We also make USH2025 Congrestival a positive and inspiring “Festival of the Senses”. People with and without Usher Syndrome will be able to share the same sensory experience. An unique experience for all.
