SUMMARY:Cell Symposia: Multifaceted mitochondria
DESCRIPTION:Mitochondria are metabolic and signaling hubs involved in multi-system processes spanning from cellular bioenergetics to organismal homeostasis. Their multifaceted functions put them at the center of research efforts to better understand cellular metabolism and communication and to develop novel therapeutic approaches for a broad range of processes including cardiometabolic disorders\, immune responses\, aging\, and cancer. \n\n\nThis symposium aims to reflect the variety in mitochondrial research\, providing engaging and forward-looking talks on mitochondrial bioenergetics and dynamics\, their mechanisms of homeostasis and stress signaling\, their function in intra- and inter-cellular communication\, and their role in metabolism\, disease\, and therapy. \nWe hope to bring together scientists working on these diverse topics to address the open questions of the field and advance the study of mitochondrial biology. \nThemes: \n\nMitochondrial biochemistry and bioenergetics\nMitochondria homeostasis and stress response\nMitochondrial dynamics and transfer\nMitochondrial communication\nMitochondria in metabolism\nMitochondria in inflammation and disease\n\nRegister\n\nAbstract submission deadline: February 13\, 2026 \nSubmit abstract here

SUMMARY:Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Summer School
DESCRIPTION:This unique\, three-day\, in-person PPIE Summer School is hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaborations South West Peninsula (PenARC). Furthermore\, co-designed and delivered by academics and public collaborators\, it offers a rare opportunity to explore the values that underpin Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE). \nThe course combines theory\, reflection\, and practical exploration in a supportive learning environment. Throughout the three immersive days\, you will move from foundational principles and power dynamics\, through creative and relational approaches to involvement\, to reflecting on leadership and culture in their own practice and the contexts in which they work. \nThe PPIE Summer School is designed for people undertaking or supporting health or care research from early career researchers to senior academics\, PPIE leads and facilitators. It is also relevant to those who are new to public involvement and would like to begin. \nThroughout the course\, you will be supported within a safe\, collaborative learning space that encourages shared learning\, openness and reflection. \nFees include all three days of teaching\, course materials\, daily lunch and refreshments; plus an evening meal and welcome drink on the first day \n\n\n\n\n\nIt was extremely inspiring and left me with lots of ideas about my PPIE/research work \n\nPrevious delegate \n\n\n\nWhy this course matters\nPPIE in research continues to gain importance in health and care research. In particular\, it gives people with experience of illnesses and service use the opportunity to add their knowledge to research. Moreover\, it also creates an ethos of equality where patients and members of the public work with researchers as partners – in ways that are ‘for’ or ‘with’ them\, rather than ‘to’ or ‘about’ them. \nFinally\, it is an important means by which people can have a say in publicly funded research and be given the opportunity to make decisions\, shape\, and learn more about research. \nThis course is an opportunity to explore beyond the numbers and the rhetoric of PPIE. We will examine innovative and honest ways of generating and spreading knowledge. We will also explore how to foster the uptake of this knowledge through partnerships with care sectors\, the public and communities – partnerships that reflect creativity and justice. \nWho is it for?\nThis unique interdisciplinary course is relevant to people undertaking health or care research\, including PhD students and those in PPIE co-ordinator/facilitator roles. Equally\, it is also relevant to people who are not currently involving members of the public in their work but would like to do so. Linking research and practice\, the course is tailored to those who are working across different disciplines in medicine\, health and social care\, and public health. \nIf you are seeking to strengthen partnerships\, deepen your understanding of PPIE values\, or embed creativity and justice within your work\, this course is for you. \nProgramme at a glance\nThroughout the three days\, participants will engage in small-group discussions\, creative exercises\, case-based learning and structured reflection\, supported by experienced facilitators. \n\nExplore the values and principles underpinning PPIE\nExamine creativity as a method and ethos in research partnerships\nReflect on justice\, equity and power in involvement practice\nEngage in practical\, skills-based activities\nShare learning across disciplines and roles\nUltimately\, develop new ideas to apply in your own research or organisational contexts\n\nDelivery format\nThe PPIE Summer School is a three-day\, in-person course held in Exeter. \nSpecifically\, the Summer School combines: \n\nInteractive workshops\nSmall group work\nReflective learning\nCreative and practice-based sessions\nOpportunities for shared discussion with academics and public collaborators\n\nThe emphasis\, therefore\, is on creating a safe\, supportive space for dialogue\, reflection and collaborative learning. \nSocial and networking opportunities\nWe are offering a couple of social activities alongside the main learning programme to give space to connect with fellow delegates and facilitators. \nDay 1: You are invited to join us for a welcome evening meal\, included as part of your registration. \nDay 2: Join a guided evening tour of Exeter’s oldest building\, St Nicholas Priory. You can sign up for this optional activity after registration. \nFacilitators\nThe PPIE Summer School is co-designed and delivered by a collaborative group with a variety of backgrounds and experiences. \n\nAcademics\nClinicians\nPublic collaborators\nFacilitators with expertise in creativity and participatory practice\nPlease see further speaker details below.\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:European Meeting on Imaging in Neurodegeneration
DESCRIPTION:EU-MIND (European Meeting on Imaging in Neurodegeneration) is a European scientific conference dedicated to neuroimaging in neurodegenerative diseases. Initiated by the collective vision of Gaël Chételat\, Julie Gonneaud\, and Robin de Flores from the Inserm Neuropresage Lab (Caen\, France)\, and co-founded by the Fondation Alzheimer\, EU-MIND was born from the need to build a more connected\, visible\, and well-defined European research community in this specialized field. \nThe first edition took place in Caen\, France\, in September 2024\, and was a great success\, bringing together researchers\, clinicians\, and early-career scientists from across Europe. Driven by values of collaboration\, diversity\, and scientific excellence\, EU-MIND is now held every two years in a different European city. \nJoin us in shaping the future of neuroimaging research in neurodegenerative diseases! \nRegister\n\nWhy such a congress?\n\nUnprecedented focus: EU-MIND is dedicated exclusively to neuroimaging in neurodegenerative diseases\, bringing together the European community working on this vital subject.\nNetworking and collaboration: Get in touch with top-level researchers\, clinicians and experts in a dynamic\, interdisciplinary environment.\nScientific excellence: EU-MIND aims to be at the forefront of research in the field of neuroimaging and neurodegenerative diseases\, including Alzheimer’s disease.\nAdvancing research: by bringing together leading experts in the field to discuss and collaborate on current topics and issues\, EU-MIND hope to provide the ideal breeding ground for major advances in the understanding\, prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.\nSupporting and promoting young researchers in/from Europe\n\nInitiated by the Neuropresage team of the Inserm Caen U1237 unit and organized by the EU-MIND Scientific Committee\, the first edition of EU-MIND is supported by the Fondation Alzheimer. \nOrigins of the congress\nThe inception of EU-MIND was ignited by the collective vision of Gael Chetelat\, Julie Gonneaud\, and Robin de Flores from the Neuropresage team (Caen\, France). Recognizing a conspicuous void within the European neuroimaging community\, they discerned the absence of a dedicated platform for experts in neurodegenerative diseases. Motivated by this observation\, they felt a compelling need to bridge this gap and establish an exclusive forum where researchers\, clinicians\, and engineers across Europe could convene\, exchange insights\, and foster collaborations. EU-MIND emerged organically as the response to this imperative\, paving the way towards a more interconnected and impactful European research landscape in neuroimaging of neurodegenerative diseases. \nWhat is the role of the Fondation Alzheimer ?\nThe Fondation Alzheimer is a private funding organization dedicated to supporting Alzheimer’s research\, innovation\, and prevention efforts at the national\, European\, and international levels. One of its primary objectives is to address gaps in high-priority research areas. \nGiven that neuroimaging in neurodegenerative diseases offers significant advancements in understanding pathophysiology\, diagnosing\, and treating Alzheimer’s disease\, the Fondation Alzheimer plays a pivotal role in shaping in the EU-MIND initiative. \nThe foundation actively contributes its expertise by participating in strategic vision and serving on the Scientific Committee. Moreover\, it provides substantial financial support to cover conference expenses\, travel grants\, and other necessities. \nThe Fondation Alzheimer takes pride in being an early founder of EU-MIND\, ensuring its sustainability\, attractiveness\, and excellence. \n\nABSTRACT SUBMISSION AND TRAVEL AWARDS\n\nWe are inviting abstract submissions for symposium and/or poster presentations at EU-MIND 2026\, focusing on neuroimaging of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. \nWe seek original\, ongoing works and preliminary results. New findings are preferred\, but we also welcome updates to prior works or those presented elsewhere before EU-MIND. Abstracts should not be published as a journal article prior to the conference. \nIf you submit an abstract\, you can apply for a travel award (see below). \nWhen submitting your abstract\, please consider: \nSymposium\nTo be eligible for an oral presentation (~15 min) in a symposium\, your work must be within the following topics: \n\nThe role of sleep in neurodegenerative disorders\n Artificial intelligence and machine learning\nTherapeutic interventions and neuroimaging\nImaging Methods\nNon-Alzheimer’s disease /polypathology\nOmics & connectomics\n\nThe selection will be based on the abstract review scores. \nPoster\nThe selection will be based on the abstract review scores. In addition\, you have the option to be considered for the poster award competition. Poster rating will occur during the conference poster sessions. \nYou may also opt to be considered for a Datablitz presentation (a ~3 min oral “teaser” to highlight your poster). Selection will be based on abstract review scores. Please note that there are no topic restrictions for Datablitz presentations\, and be advised that as we have limited space so not all submissions may be accepted. \nYou will be asked whether you’d liked to be considered for any (or all) of these (travel awards\, datablitz\, oral presentation and poster award competition) directly in the abstract submission form. \nAttendance\nThe presenting author should attend in-person for poster\, datablitz and symposia presentations. \nDeadline: March 20th \n\nSubmit an Abstract

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
