The European Neuroscience Conference by Doctoral Students (ENCODS) is a FENS satellite event. This year, it will take place in Faro, the beautiful capital of Algarve in Portugal.

ENCODS 2023 theme is “Labcoats and Laptops: Neuroscience through different lenses” and we’re aiming to bring together different disciplines of neuroscience and how we can all work together. We’ll have opportunities for PhD poster presentations, lightning talks, and longer format talks, as well as workshop sessions and 4 keynote speakers from a range of neuroscience disciplines!

The registration fee will be €120, which includes registration for all seminars and workshops, abstract submission to present a poster or give a talk, lunches, and bus transfer to/from the venue.

VII Symposium of the Portuguese Glial Network

The Portuguese Glial Network gathers Portuguese researchers, as well as foreign researchers working in Portugal, who are interested in the role of glial cells in the function of the nervous system, in health and disease conditions.

The Portuguese Glial Network invites you to attend the VII Symposium of the Portuguese Glial Network, in collaboration with Red Glial Española. The Symposium will be held in Albufeira (Algarve) on May 2, 2023, as a satellite meeting of the FENS Regional Meeting 2023.

This year, the event will have six invited speakers to bring the latest on glial cell physiology, biology, signaling, and ultrastructure: Amanda Sierra (Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Spain), Ana Luísa Cardoso (University of Coimbra, Portugal), Christa Rhiner (Champalimaud Research Program, Portugal), Corrado Calì (Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy), Juliana Rosa (Hospital Nacional de Parapléjicos – IDISCAM, Spain) and Renzo Mancuso (Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium). Six short talks will also be selected from the submitted abstracts by our Scientific Committee.

Registration is, as always, free (but mandatory), and the best poster and oral communication will receive awards! 

Join us in the vibrant setting of the city of Albufeira and experience the sun and energy of the Algarve.
