2nd CURE-ND workshop for ECRs
After a very successful first event in 2022, the CURE-ND (Catalysing a United Response in Europe to Neurodegenerative Diseases) workshop for early career researchers (ECRs) is going into its second round in March 2023, organised by the joint ECR committee of the alliance institute members: German Centre for Neurodegenerative Diseases (Germany), Paris Brain Institute (France), Mission Lucidity (ML, a partnership between imec, KU Leuven, UZ Leuven and VIB in Belgium), and the UK Dementia Research Institute (United Kingdom).
Our aim is to bring together ECRs from across the four international institutes to enable the discussion and sharing of our research. This is an excellent opportunity to network and get involved in this joint effort to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery in the field of neurodegenerative diseases. This second CURE-ND ECR workshop will include a selection of talks, posters and career sessions alongside a key-note talk by Prof. Bart De Strooper.
The event takes place over 3 days, 20-22 March 2023, in Leuven (Belgium).
This meeting is free to attend.
Delegates
This workshop is open to all PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and lab technicians, from the CURE-ND network who are working in the field of neurodegeneration.
Each member institution will send up to 20 delegates, for a total of 80 conference attendees.
Travel & Accommodation
The meeting is completely free to attend.
Accommodation (2 nights hotel stay) will be covered for those living further away than 1h from the venue.

Talks & Posters
