Programme

Dear colleagues and friends,

It is our great pleasure and honour to welcome you to Paris for the 6th congress of the European Academy of Neurology from 23 to 26 May 2020. Paris is a dynamic and cosmopolitan city and one of Europe’s major centres for science, education and arts. Paris also has an unrivalled heritage, with historic sites, picturesque streets, iconic monuments, world-class museums and art galleries. Paris is also famous for gastronomy and fashion, and the city centre is classified as a UNESCO Heritage Site.

France has a longstanding and pioneering tradition of Neurology and Neuroscience (the French Neurological society was founded in 1899, with the Salpêtrière as an historic cradle). Since then, University Hospitals and research centres all over the country have contributed to scientific, clinical and therapeutic innovations, and have fostered strategic and productive international collaborations with many European groups. The EAN is proud to build on this heritage when coming to Paris and is confident that the community of French neurologists will extend their hospitality to make this Congress and your stay a great success and full of great memories.

The overarching theme of the congress is “Time for Action: Predict, Prevent, Repair”.  The ‘red thread’ of the congress will show and demonstrate in many sessions with a rich spectrum of high-quality information the novel therapeutic interventions, designed to predict, protect and repair neurodegenerative diseases.

The congress will take place in a newly renovated congress venue, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, a model of sustainable development, a place to live, as well as the largest French exhibition centre, which is in the heart of Paris and easily accessible by public transportation, scooters or Velib’ bikes.

EAN and the French Neurological community welcome you to an enlightening Congress in Paris. We also hope that you will enjoy the charm of Paris and the gentle lifestyle and culture in an international and friendly atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you to Paris!

Claudio Bassetti, President Elect of EAN

Tony Marson, Chairperson of Programme Committee of EAN

Marie Vidailhet, Chairperson of the Local Organising Committee

The Call for Symposia proposals for the bi-annual meeting of the German Neuroscience Society (NWG) is open. The call is not restricted to our members but addresses neuroscientists from abroad as well, and especially the European neuroscience community. Proposals from any field of neurosciences are welcome, the meeting has no topical focus. The language of the meeting is English.

The meeting takes place on March 24 – 27, 2021. With around 1.500 participants it is one of the largest neuroscience meetings in Europe besides the FENS Forum. The program offers 36 symposia with four speakers each.

For more information please click here.

The NWG cannot offer core funding. However, in the past the German Research Council (DFG) has always supported the meeting with a substantial amount which could be used for travel costs for speakers from outside Germany. This allowed us to reimburse foreign symposium speakers at least partially. The NWG will apply for funding to the DFG  for the upcoming meeting again.

Proposals can be submitted via a webform. Please contact central office of the NWG (gibson@mdc-berlin.de) if you have questions.

3e journée d’étude du Comité pour l’histoire de l’Inserm
En partenariat avec Sorbonne Université et l’UMR SIRICE

sur une proposition de Yves Agid.

Elle réunira des historiens, des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales, des acteurs contemporains et des personnalités de l’Inserm concernés par les neurosciences.

22 janvier 2020 de 9 h à 18 h

Les neurosciences occupent une place croissante au sein de la recherche médicale et scientifique. Plus qu’une discipline, elles articulent un ensemble de champs liés à la connaissance du cerveau et du système nerveux et interrogent les rapports complexes de l’homme à son environnement et à ses semblables. De la recherche biomédicale aux sciences cognitives, acteurs, démarches et organisations qui structurent les neurosciences sont diverses. Souvent convergentes, elles peuvent également s’avérer concurrentes. Alors que les découvertes et les défis des neurosciences sont relayés par les médias, ce domaine entre espoir et inquiétude suscite l’intérêt croissant du grand public. Au prisme des dernières techniques de l’imagerie médicale, le cerveau fascine. De manière désordonnées et, parfois, mal informées, les « neurosciences » semblent partout… Intégrées, parfois sans discernement, dans nombre de débats, elles sont mobilisées à propos des enjeux de société et de santé publique, d’éducation, de vieillissement et nourrissent chez certains les espoirs d’un homme « augmenté ». Un regard plus réfléchi ne serait-il pas dès lors nécessaire ?

C’est par l’histoire que la troisième journée d’étude du Comité pour l’histoire de l’Inserm espère favoriser une réflexion plus sereine. Elle abordera tout d’abord l’évolution de la connaissance, de l’exploration et des représentations du cerveau du xvie siècle aux dernières innovations du xxie siècle. La construction historique de la définition de la maladie et de l’élaboration des thérapeutiques articulée à la mise en place d’un encadrement institutionnel et hospitalier, sera ensuite interrogée, en posant la question de la place et de la représentation des patients au sein du système de santé, et plus largement de la société.

Ce rendez-vous constituera un nouveau temps de rencontre et d’échanges entre historiens, chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales, témoins, scientifiques et acteurs institutionnels et associatifs. En tournant leur regard vers le passé, ils auront à l’esprit les problématiques actuelles … et porteront ainsi l’espoir de mieux discerner les enjeux des temps futurs.

Dear Glia Community,

The XV European Meeting on Glial Cells in Health and Disease will be held in Marseille, France on July 7 – 10, 2021.

We encourage members of the glial community to propose Symposia, Special Trainee Symposia or Technical workshops on all aspects of CNS and PNS glial biology. The guidelines for symposium proposals and the web form for submitting proposals can be found on the meeting’s website. The deadline for submission is

Wednesday, April 1, 2020, 12.00 p.m. / midnight (CET)

The European Glial Meeting has become the world’s largest and most comprehensive scientific gathering on glial cell biology and medicine. The Glial Meeting series has become a tradition since the first gathering in 1994 at the University of Heidelberg. Subsequent Glial Meetings have been held throughout Europe every second year. After the outstanding success of the Glia Meeting 2019 in Porto with more than 1.500 participants, the conference returns to France after the meetings in Arcachon (1996) and Paris (2009) and it will be hosted in Marseille, the second-largest city in France. Marseille is famous for its seafood and the classic Bouillabaisse. This cosmopolitan city has much to offer, from ancient history and cultural diversity to unique seaside scenery and lovely Mediterranian weather.

Hope to see you there!

16th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON CHOLINERGIC MECHANISMS
2nd MISRAHI SYMPOSIUM ON NEUROBIOLOGY

Welcome to the XVIth International Symposium on Cholinergic Mechanisms (ISCM-XVI), scheduled for December 8th-13th, 2019. The symposium will be held in the Lopatie Conference Center on the campus of the Weizmann Institute of Science, in Rehovot, Israel.

The first International Symposium on Cholinergic Mechanisms (ISCM) was organized by the late Edith Heilbronn. It took place in Skokloster, Sweden, in 1970. The ISCMs have been held triennially since then, the most recent being ISCM-XV, in Marseille, in October, 2016. The principal objective of these conferences is to survey progress in the understanding of the molecular, cellular, pharmacological, toxicological, behavioral and clinical aspects of the cholinergic system, and to bring fundamental and applied scientists together so as to survey and discuss the most recent developments in cholinergic research. It has also been a tradition to publish the proceedings, so as to provide a comprehensive picture of the cholinergic field at the time of the symposium.

The 26th Meeting (RT26) of the French Society of Toxinology (SFET) will take place on December 4-5, 2019, in the François Jacob auditorium of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and will focus on a theme at the heart of the current research in toxinology: “Bioengineering of Toxins”.

We warmly invite you to attend the meeting, or better: present your own data as an oral communication or a poster!
