« Focus on Brain Energy Metabolism » Symposium
« Focus on Brain 🧠 Energy Metabolism » symposium, will be held on July 17–18, 2025, at the Domaine du Haut-Carré in Talence, close to Bordeaux.
- Day 1 will focus on fundamental research 🔬, presenting the latest findings on metabolic interactions between different brain cell types, with particular attention to lactate exchanges – not only the astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle, but also metabolic exchanges with microglia and oligodendrocytes.
- Day 2 will be dedicated to translational research 🩺, addressing the consequences of energy metabolism dysregulation in brain disorders, with a focus on preclinical and clinical research and roundtable discussions between scientists and clinicians.
A strong emphasis will be placed on young researchers, with multiple opportunities for oral and poster presentations. Prizes🏅will be awarded for the best contributions !
The event will take place in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, including a wine 🍷 & cheese 🧀 poster session on the evening of Day 1.
📄 Full program: fbem.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/3
📅 Registration (deadline: June 15, 11:59 PM): fbem.sciencesconf.org/registration?lang=en
📣 Abstract submission (young researchers, dead-line June 15): fbem.sciencesconf.org/submission/submit?lang=en

Brain Innovation Days 2025
The 5th edition of the Brain Innovation Days, organised by the European Brain Council, will take place on 15-16 October 2025 in Brussels, Belgium. The aim of the event is to bring the wider brain ecosystem together to foster dialogue, exchange knowledge, accelerate investment in research & innovation and facilitate business development.
Key players and experts in the brain space across Europe and beyond will be able to connect through a networking-friendly programme and innovation showcasing. You can look forward to inspiring keynotes, panel discussions, the Brain Innovation Days Pitch Competition, an Innovation Hall, and much more.
The event will take place at La Tricoterie. Located in the heart of Brussels, the venue offers an outstanding space with easy access by train, public transport and car (with many different parking facilities in the vicinity). We look forward to welcoming you in this new space – a space of innovation, collaboration and future-oriented thinking.
This year’s Brain Innovation Days will take place under the overarching theme “The Adaptive Brain in a Fast-Evolving World“!
The main theme will revolve around 4 subthemes:
🧠 Brain Research Frontiers: Driving Europe’s Innovation Leadership
🏫 Brain Health Equity: Closing the Gap to Leave No One Behind
🏥 Youth Culture: Shaping Brain Health in the Modern World
⚙️ Beyond Neuroscience: Reimagining the World Through a Brain Health Lens
The programme will include a wide array of session types, including plenary sessions, inspiring Brain Talks, Innovation Showcase, matchmaking and networking activities, the Brain Innovation Days Pitch Competition, workshops, panel discussions, fireside chats and other session formats still in development!

31èmes Rencontres en Toxinologie (RT31) de la Société Française pour l’Etude des Toxines (SFET)
La Société Française pour l’Étude des Toxines (SFET, http://sfet.asso.fr/) est une petite association à but non lucratif créée en 1993 selon le statut « loi 1901 ». Depuis, 29 Rencontres en Toxinologie organisées par la SFET ont eu lieu à Paris et 1 à Nice, et 3 autres ont été coorganisées avec des sociétés de toxinologie étrangères (IST, GT, SITOX). Depuis 2005, la langue officielle des Rencontres est l’anglais. (http://sfet.asso.fr/archives-rt/archives.html)
Cette année, le thème retenu pour les 31èmes Rencontres (RT31), qui se dérouleront à nouveau à l’Hôtel Saint Paul à Nice, est « Toxines : Jouer avec et les combattre! / Toxins : Playing with and fighting them! ».
A nouveau, cet événement rassemblera une centaine de chercheurs, médecins, pharmaciens, industriels, postdoctorants et étudiants impliqués dans la recherche sur les toxines, quelle que soit l’origine animale, végétale, fongique, bactérienne de ces toxines.
Outre les 10 conférenciers invités (dont 1 « keynote »), tous experts internationaux dans ce domaine de recherche, 15-20 chercheurs français et étrangers, de tous niveaux professionnels, présenteront des communications orales sélectionnées sur résumés, et/ou des posters.
La SFET espère vous accueillir nombreux à l’occasion de ces RT31 !
