Workshop “Calcium Signaling in Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases”

18-20 September 2019 | Coimbra Tryp Hotel - Coimbra

Dear colleagues and friends,

The organizing committee is pleased to welcome you at the 8th Workshop of the European Calcium Society (ECS): “Calcium Signaling in Aging and Neurodegenerative Diseases”.  An exciting meeting with a multifaceted and highly interesting scientific program was prepared to create a unique opportunity to meet and discuss the latest research advances in understanding calcium signalling in the brain and changes underlying aging and neurodegenerative disorders.

The scientific program is structured into four tracks dedicated to synaptic calcium, mitochondrial and endoplasmic reticulum calcium, calcium signaling in glia and stem cells and a special session dedicated to technological innovations in calcium imaging, which will be followed by a hands-on session, for interested participants.

These sessions will be complemented by two poster parties where ample discussion between young and experienced researchers is expected.

Short oral presentations will be selected from submitted abstracts. ECS and local organizers would like to encourage young scientists in the calcium fields to submit their abstracts and present their latest work.

The meeting will take place in Tryp Hotel, Coimbra. More informations about the workshop here: http://www.8thworkshopecs.com

Important dates:

- 30th June, 2019: Early-bird registration

- 31th July, 2019: Deadline for registration and abstract submission

We look very much forward to welcoming all of you in Coimbra!
