05-06-2024 4:00 pm Add to iCal
StratNeuro welcomes neuroscience researchers from Karolinska Institutet, Umeå University and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) to the StratNeuro Retreat 2024, to be held at Djurönäset in the Stockholm Archipelago.
The StratNeuro retreat is the place to be for neuroscientists from Karolinska Institutet (KI), Umeå University (UMU) and Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).
Additionally, as KI is a member of the European University of Brain and Technology (NeurotechEU), StratNeuro will welcome small delegations from our NeurotechEU partners, including two speakers.
If you haven’t had the chance to attend any of our earlier retreats, or just want to read about the highlights of our latest meeting, please check the recent news article about the 2023 retreat.
At our retreat, you will attend top talks from local researchers and invited leading neuroscientists, covering research from the molecular level and up to the cognitive and social levels.
You will have a chance to network and discuss your work with other experts during our popular poster mingle session.
Several KI Core Facilities and infrastructures serving the Neuroscience community will also be participating at the poster session.
The scientific program will consist of three plenary sessions, a poster session, and two break-out sessions with two parallell mini symposia/workshops in each session.
