RIVM 'Young Researchers' present their PhD research in 4 short films which were made especially to highlight and explain their scientific research. Worthy of our attention for our knowledge of health increases through research. Whooping cough, avian influenza, antibiotic resistance and nanomaterials are the topics of these short films.

RIVM and Research

These (mostly) young researchers have their own network called: Proneri. Their research is put in the spotlight in these films from RIVM and Proneri. Almost all researchers on film have completed their research.
