SUMMARY:Barcelona Blood-Brain Barrier Conference – B4 2026
DESCRIPTION:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) separates the blood circulation from the brain tissue. However\, despite its name\, the BBB is far from a static\, impenetrable barrier. Instead\, this highly dynamic structure responds to and regulates the complex requirements of brain function. \nTo advance our knowledge of how the BBB impacts health and disease\, the 3rd edition of the Barcelona Blood-Brain Barrier Conference will bring together scientists from across the globe to discuss emerging topics in BBB physiology\, pathology and translational research. This interdisciplinary event will incorporate neuroscience\, vascular biology\, protein engineering\, bioengineering\, and nanomedicine to provide a unique platform to foster collaboration and address challenges shaping the future of this field. \nIn the name of the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Institut Químic de Sarrià (IQS)\, we look forward to welcoming you to the vibrant and historic city of Barcelona to take part in these lively discussions\, make lasting connections\, and push the boundaries of the field forward. \nEvent Details

SUMMARY:Rethinking Neurodegeneration
DESCRIPTION:This conference focuses on new perspectives on neurodegeneration and dementia\, including the question of whether diseases such as Alzheimer’s may represent interconnected pathological processes rather than clearly distinct disorders. Researchers from across the field will meet in Hanover to discuss current research. \nNeurodegenerative diseases and dementia are a dramatic burden for our aging societies. While the age-associated demise of neurons leading to dementia has been intensively studied for decades\, the individual causes of degeneration are not fully understood. Consequently\, causative therapies or a cure are still missing. \n\n\nAlthough dementia-associated diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Frontotemporal Dementia exhibit substantial heterogeneity at multiple levels – including genetics and affected brain regions – an increasing number of shared mechanistic pathways are being identified. These findings raise the possibility that “dementia” may represent a continuum of pathological processes rather than a collection of distinct disease entities. For instance\, most Alzheimer’s disease cases are currently described as mixed pathologies\, as they involve the deposition of several proteins that are found in various types of neurodegenerative disorders; examples are the deposition of amyloid beta\, tau\, alpha-synuclein\, or TDP-43. \nThe Herrenhausen Conference “Rethinking Neurodegeneration – Challenging established paradigms and exploring new paths” aims to address these complexities from a broad and interdisciplinary perspective. It will provide an unbiased perspective on neurodegeneration\, the multifactorial risk factors\, and aging from the standpoint of molecular and cellular biology as well as human genetics\, epidemiology\, and clinical research. It will bring together experts in neurodegeneration\, dementia and aging research to present their perspectives\, creating a unique opportunity for new and unprecedented synergies. Moreover\, this conference aims to move beyond the beaten paths encouraging broader perspectives and outside-the-box thinking\, potentially driving a paradigm shift. Given that neurodegeneration and dementia are multifactorial and age-associated conditions\, they need to be explored accordingly. \nThe conference also includes contributions from early career researchers and encourages young scientists to broaden their perspectives on long-standing medical challenges. \nIn many ways\, “Rethinking Neurodegeneration – Challenging established paradigms and exploring new paths” reflects the spirit of the famous quote attributed to Max Planck: “When you change the way you look at things\, the things you look at change”. \n\n\n\n\n\nTravel grants for early career researchers\nWe award up to 10 travel grants to PhD-/MD-students and postdoctoral researchers. The grants are intended to support early career researchers whose work relates to the scientific themes of the conference and who wish to actively contribute to the interdisciplinary exchange on neurodegeneration and dementia research. Applications will be evaluated based on scientific quality\, originality\, relevance to the conference topics\, and the potential contribution to interdisciplinary discussion. \n\nThe deadline for applications is September 30\, 2026. All applicants will be informed of the outcome of their application mid October 2026. \nFor details\, please see the document Call HK Neurodegeneration Travel Grants (PDF) \n\nTravel Grants Application \n\nConfirmed Speakers\n\nYou can find all confirmed speakers in the downloadable document. \n\nConfirmed Speakers \n\nRegistration\n\nThere is no attendance fee\, but prior registration is mandatory. \nRegistration will open at the end of July 2026. The number of participants is strictly limited and attendance is subject to selection by the organisers. The registration deadline is November 1\, 2026. Your attendance will be confirmed by mid November 2026. \n\nRegistration link for participants

SUMMARY:AD/PD Conference 2027
DESCRIPTION:AD/PD 2027\, the International Conference on Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases and related neurological disorders\, runs from 16 to 20 March 2027 in Barcelona and online. Late-breaking abstracts are open until 18 November. \nAD/PD™ is one of the main events of the year in neurodegeneration research\, bringing clinicians and basic scientists from around the world together in one place. What sets it apart is that it puts Alzheimer’s\, Parkinson’s and related disorders side by side\, and looks at what they share and where they differ. \nThe 2027 programme runs from basic science through to translational and clinical research: disease mechanisms and protein aggregation\, phase I–III clinical trials\, fluid biomarkers and neuroimaging for early detection\, drug discovery\, new therapies including gene therapy and immunotherapy\, and prevention and risk factors. The meeting is hybrid\, held at the International Barcelona Convention Center with online attendance available. \nLate-breaking abstracts for AD/PD 2027\nThe main abstract deadline has passed\, with notifications due in mid-October\, but late-breaking submission is open until Wednesday 18 November 2026 at midnight CET.

SUMMARY:SCMND 2027: Stem Cell Models of Neurodegeneration
DESCRIPTION:The UK Dementia Research Institute hosts the second SCMND symposium\, bringing together the international community using stem cell models to understand and treat neurodegenerative disease. \nSCMND was created to fill a gap. Researchers working with iPSC and stem cell-derived models of neurodegeneration had no dedicated forum in which to compare approaches\, troubleshoot methods or find collaborators. This is the second meeting\, delivered as part of the Cure-ND network\, and it runs over three days in Edinburgh. \nThe programme includes three keynote speakers\, 32 session speakers\, three early career researcher talks\, 10 flash talks and four poster sessions\, with poster prizes awarded on the final day. Confirmed plenary speakers are Valentina Fossati (JAX-NYSCF)\, Steven Finkbeiner (Gladstone Institute) and Su-Chun Zhang (Sanford Burnham Prebys). \nWorth a look if you work with iPSC-derived neurons\, organoids or any stem cell-based model of neurodegeneration. Speakers and poster presenters are selected from submitted abstracts\, so the ECR talks\, flash talks and poster prizes are genuinely open rather than invitation-only. \nAbstract submission is open until 31 December 2026. Abstracts will be selected for posters\, three oral presentations and 10 flash talks\, and everyone who submits will hear whether they have a poster or a talk by 28 February 2027 at the latest. Posters can be up to A0 and must be in portrait orientation. Full details are on the SCMND poster information page. \nRegistration closes 5 May 2027. UK DRI members attend free. Registration is £300 for all other academic researchers\, £450 for non-academic attendees without a poster\, and £550 for non-academic attendees presenting a poster. An optional conference dinner on 19 May is a further £48. \nRegister via the University of Edinburgh\, or find out more on the SCMND website.
