Stress-NL is a consortium of stress researchers in the Netherlands
Mission
The stress system is ubiquitous in all species and is essential to adapt to a changing environment. Its relevance for humans and animals can therefore not be overestimated. Excessive or prolonged stress exposure increases the risk for a wide variety of mental and physical symptoms. Our current understanding of the stress system and variability in outcomes after stress exposure is limited. The Stress-NL consortium envisions that combining forces between researchers across the Netherlands ranging from preclinical to clinical stress research is needed to advance our knowledge and the stress field as a whole. The Stress-NL consortium aims to change the current way of performing stress studies, by combining knowledge, efforts, and sharing data, but also joining efforts to emphasize the importance of fundamental and applied stress research to funding agencies, the government and the general public.
The Stress-NL foundation is supported by a project grant from the Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences,
and by the ‘Interdisciplinair Genootschap voor Biologische Psychiatrie’.
1
Provide a platform for interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge about stress research conducted within molecular, cellular, systems, behavioral, and clinical neurosciences across the Netherlands.
2
Provide a platform for exchange and integration of data to enable larger (meta) analyses of data acquired across multiple sites and research groups.
3
Provide a platform that can promote stress research toward stakeholders at national and European levels and beyond (grant agencies, charity foundations, etc.) as a focus area that is historically particularly strong within the Netherlands.
4
Provide a platform that can raise public awareness, knowledge, and trust of scientific research into stress and stress-related disorders
Annual Stress-nl meeting
No Stress-NL meeting 2020
Due to COVID-19 there will be no annual meeting of Stress-NL in 2020.
Stress-NL meeting 2019
The 2019 Stress-NL meeting was held in the Trippenhuis in Amsterdam. A beautiful location to discuss collaborations and future plans. This year’s meeting focussed on new projects and developments, with contributions from young talents (symposium 1) and more established (symposium 2/3) scientists, including:
Rianne de Kleine, Lynn Boschloo, Jan Kroon, Conny Quaedflieg, Marie-José van Tol, Boudewijn Lelieveldt, Benno Roozendaal, Erno Hermans, Carolina de Weerth
Prof. Dr. Elisabeth Binder (Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry, München) received the Ron de Kloet award and gave an award lecture: “Genes and environment – convergent pathways?”
In the coming year we will keep on pursuing our mission of combining forces between stress researchers in The Netherlands. If you have any suggestions, ideas or wish to help us in our mission, please contact us. You can join our Mailing list or follow us on Twitter to keep up to date on future events.
We hope to see you next year for the 2020 Stress-NL symposium.
Stress-NL meeting 2018
The Stress-NL meeting of 2018 is over – what a great turnout we had.
This year the meeting was split into three symposia: ‘How to improve human stress measures in daily life’, ‘Stress as a translational concept: molecular and animal models’, and ‘New developments in the stress field’. In between the symposia, there was ample time to interact and discuss collaborations and future plans.
The short talks from speakers from all over The Netherlands illustrated the broad range of stress research that we are doing in the Netherlands. This year’s speakers were:
Mirjam van Zuiden, Frank Meye, Louk Vanderschuren, Eco de Geus, Angela Sarabdjitsingh, Alberto Pereira, Ahmed Mahfouz, Eva Naninck, Aniko Korosi, Sanne Booij, Wessel Kraaij, Judith Homberg, Manon Benders.
In addition, Prof. Carmen Sandi joined us all the way from Switzerland, to receive the first ever Ron de Kloet Award and give a talk on ‘Stress and the individual’.
In the coming year we will keep on pursuing our mission of combining forces between stress researchers in The Netherlands. If you have any suggestions, ideas or wish to help us in our mission, please contact us. You can join our Mailing list or follow us on Twitter to keep up to date on future events.
We hope to see you next year for the Stress-NL meeting of 2019!

SUCCESSFUL KICKOFF MEETING STRESS-NL 2017
The first Stress-NL consortium meeting on November 2nd 2017 was a great success. We look back at a fruitful and constructive meeting, and it was very clear that there is an outstanding Dutch research line on stress with a variety of angles and approaches.

The Ron de Kloet award for Stress Research is given to an international researcher who has made outstanding contributions to our understanding of stress in adaptation, resilience and vulnerability for disease. Recipients can be either basic or clinical researchers. The prize is organized by Stress-NL. Candidates can be nominated via its executive board – decisions are made by consultation of the advisory board. The award is sponsored by Corcept Therapeutics. It is handed out annually at the Stress-NL meeting, where the awardee delivers a lecture on the topic of stress.
