On Pharmacometrics Network Benelux: the initiative aims to connect 
pharmacometricians in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg). The 
intention is to create an informal platform for the pharmacometric community in 
this region of the world (in industry, academia, hospital pharmacies as well as 
regulatory bodies), with the goal to promote professional and scientific 
awareness and interactions.
