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. Accepted authors will hear by 2 December 2026. \nAbstracts must report unpublished data that hasn’t been presented before\, run to no more than 280 words\, and follow an Objectives\, Methods\, Results\, Conclusions structure. Each person can present up to five posters and one oral presentation\, and the presenting author must be listed first and must register for the conference. There is no embargo policy\, so you are free to share your work within your networks. \nOne thing for early career researchers to note: the Junior Faculty Awards are not open to late-breaking submissions\, as this year’s winners have already been announced. If you are putting an abstract together\, our guide on how to write a powerful conference abstract is a good place to start. \nPlenary speakers\n\nRandall Bateman (USA): Don Price Memorial Lecture\, on Alzheimer’s treatment\, blood tests\, prevention\, brain ageing and AI-powered discovery.\nHenrik Zetterberg (Sweden): fluid biomarkers for tau pathophysiology in Alzheimer’s disease.\nBrit Mollenhauer (Germany): multimodal biomarkers for prevention trials in Parkinson’s.\nBradley Hyman (USA): Eric N. Birch Memorial Lecture\, on the molecular pathology of Lewy body diseases.\nRosa Rademakers (Belgium): whether genetics can crack neurodegeneration\, from discovery to disease modification.\nCostantino Iadecola (USA): how the neurovasculature shapes neurodegeneration.\nBeth Stevens (USA): how brain macrophages shape cognitive resilience and vulnerability in ageing and disease.\n\nKey dates\n\nMid-October 2026: notifications to abstract submitters\n18 November 2026: late-breaking abstract deadline (midnight CET)\n2 December 2026: notification to late-breaking authors\n9 December 2026: early registration deadline\n16 to 20 March 2027: conference\, in Barcelona and online\n\nRegistration\nRegistration is open\, for attending in Barcelona or online\, with early rates available until 9 December 2026.

SUMMARY:European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership (EDCTP) forum 2027
DESCRIPTION:Global Health European & Developing Countries Clinical Trials Partnership 3 (Global Health EDCTP3) is a unique European and African partnership working to improve health through research and development. Backed by the European Union and over 45 countries\, we focus on infectious diseases that continue to harm millions across sub-Saharan Africa. \nWe fund clinical trials and studies\, train researchers\, and strengthen the African clinical research ecosystem\, ensuring that solutions are developed where they are most needed and global health security is increased. \nThe Global Health EDCTP3 is co-governed by two equal partners: \n\nThe European Union\, represented by the European Commission;\nThe EDCTP Association\, representing European and African countries.\n\nThe main programme will run over five days\, from 5-9 April 2027\, and is expected to include: \n\nPlenary sessions with keynote addresses delivered by leading international scientists and policymakers.\nParallel sessions consisting of abstract-driven oral presentations organised according to thematic areas linked to the Forum theme.\nScientific symposia organised by groups of researchers or organisations on topics related to the Forum theme.\nPrize-giving ceremonies awarding the winners of the EDCTP Prizes competition.\nA poster exhibition drawing from the abstract submitted.\nSponsored satellite sessions and workshops.\nCountless networking opportunities such as the ‘Meet the experts’ and one-to-one meetings.\nField visits to research centres in and around Madrid.\n\nSubscribe to the Global Health EDCTP3 newsletter and follow us on LinkedIn\, Bluesky and  X for the latest news on the programme. \nEDCTP has recently opened a call for abstracts\, scientific symposia and workshops for their forum\, taking place on 5-9 April 2027 in Madrid\, Spain. The deadline for submissions is 2 September 2026. \nLearn more about submitting abstracts\, scientific symposia and workshops \n\nEDCTP Prizes 2027 \nThe EDCTP Prizes 2027 are open for applications. There are 4 prize categories: \n\nDr Pascoal Mocumbi Prize\nOutstanding Research Team Prize\nOutstanding Female Scientist Prize\nScientific Leadership Prizes\n\nApplications for the prizes must be submitted by the individuals or teams applying\, along with supporting letters of recommendation from at least one reputable scientist. The deadline for applications is 2 September 2026. \nApply to the EDCTP Prizes 2027

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.
