Further introduction partners

De Plantijn is located in the north-western corner of the Schinkel Quarter in Amsterdam. De Plantijn is a foundation in which Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, Sanquin, Slotervaar Centrum voor Zorg and Cordaan’s Hof van Sloten nursing home have joined forces and become collaborative partners. The aim is to turn this area into a lively city district with a diverse range of facilities. The current partners play a major role in these future plans. But who are these partners?
