We are at the beautiful city of Leiden for the ETPLAS Preparatory Action project meeting, to report on current progress and plan the next activities. The first deliverables from this project will be launched soon, so stay tuned!
The new @uclh vaccination centre is based in our gallery space and will be vaccinating up to 1000 people each day, seven days a week.
