SUMMARY:37th International Symposium on ALS / MND
DESCRIPTION:The International Symposium is the biggest annual conference dedicated to ALS and MND research. Each year we bring together researchers from around the world to share new understanding of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and motor neurone disease. \nThis year’s event will take place in Amsterdam\, the Netherlands on 9-11 December 2026. \nAbstract submission and registration are open. \n\n\n\n\n\nThe key to defeating MND lies in fostering strong collaboration between leading researchers around the world\, and sharing new understanding of the disease as rapidly as possible.
