Building on the success of NMC 2018 “new style”, made possible in part by a generous financial injection from NWO and contributions from 4TU.AMI, “Networks” and “QSC”, the 55th Dutch Mathematical Congress was held on 23 and 24 April at the “Koningshof” conference centre in Veldhoven. The May holiday resulted in somewhat less participation than in the previous year, despite this there were more than 200 participants who enjoyed a diverse and dynamic programme. Most of them had also chosen to stay overnight, which led to a cosy atmosphere and a late conclusion in the “Abbey Bar” where new contacts were made, and existing ones were deepened, often while enjoying a delicious abbey beer.
