| Microglia, Neuroinflammation, Immunity Network 2ndWorkshop | Bordeaux NeuroSchool, France | This year, the workshop stands out thanks to a novel format: the three hands-on modules will converge around a common scientific project aiming to decipher the synthesis of IL 1β by brain-resident myeloid cells, using a biosensor mouse model. | club-de-cellules-gliales.assoconnect.com | 3 – 7 November 2025 |
| 2nd Italian Glia Network Symposium | online | We are excited to host Fellin Tommaso for a plenary lecture, and we’ll select 7 short talks from the abstracts. ***The attendance is open (and free!) to everybody (aka: if you are a trainee you don’t want to miss this opportunity!)*** Are you working on hashtag#glial cells in Italy (any nationality) or are you an italian working abroad? Then, not only you can attend, but you can also submit an abstract to present!
