3rd CURE-ND workshop for ECRs

After two very successful editions in 2022 and 2023, the CURE-ND (Catalysing a United Response in Europe to Neurodegenerative Diseases) workshop for early career researchers (ECRs) is going into its third round in March 2024, 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 third CURE-ND ECR workshop will include a selection of talks, posters and career sessions alongside a key-note talk.

The event takes place over 3 days, 18-20 March 2024, in Bonn (Germany) and is free to attend.

What to expect

  • Ample opportunity to meet and get to know the other participants at a speed networking session and during interactive group activities. 
  • Insightful career sessions on job transitions after the PhD and on work-life balance.
  • A keynote lecture by Prof. Dr. Monique M. B. Breteler on people’s health across their life span.
  • A guided tour of the DZNE campus in Bonn.

Stay tuned for the detailed program.
