Welcome message

The Portuguese Glial Network invites you to attend the VII Symposium of the Portuguese Glial Network, in collaboration with Red Glial Española. The Symposium will be held in Albufeira (Algarve) on May 2, 2023, as a satellite meeting of the FENS Regional Meeting 2023.
 
This year, we will have six invited speakers to bring us the latest on glial cell physiology, biology, signaling, and ultrastructure: Amanda Sierra (Achucarro Basque Center for Neuroscience and Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Spain), Ana Luísa Cardoso (University of Coimbra, Portugal), Christa Rhiner (Champalimaud Research Program, Portugal), Corrado Calì (Università degli Studi di Torino, Italy), Juliana Rosa (Hospital Nacional de Parapléjicos - IDISCAM, Spain) and Renzo Mancuso (Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium). Six short talks will also be selected from the submitted abstracts by our Scientific Committee.


We are delighted to welcome you to our VII Symposium and gather again friends and colleagues of the Portuguese glial family for another great meeting. Registration is, as always, free (but mandatory), and the best poster and oral communication will receive awards! 
Join us in the vibrant setting of the city of Albufeira and experience the sun and energy of the Algarve.

We are looking forward to seeing you all in May!
