Workshop: "International Workshop on Synaptic Mechanisms in Health and Disease. Organized on the occasion of the awarding of the UNIA Gold Medal to Prof. Thomas C. Südhof".

This symposium will be of particular interest to neuroscientists, molecular and cellular biologists, and researchers studying synaptic mechanisms at the structural, functional, and circuit levels. Clinicians and scientists working in the fields of neurology and psychiatry will find valuable insights into how synaptic dysregulation contributes to brain disorders and how basic discoveries may inform therapeutic strategies. In addition, early-career researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows seeking to expand their expertise in synapse biology will benefit from the opportunity to engage with leaders in the field, present their work, and build collaborations across disciplines.

FORMATE OF THE WORKSHOP:

The workshop will bring together 12 speakers and a maximum of 38 participants. The scientific programme will start on Monday 24th of November in the afternoon and will end on Wednesday 26th of November in the afternoon. Ample time for informal discussion will be reserved. Participants are encouraged to present a poster. A considerable number of submitted abstracts will be selected for short talks, must be sent to the International University of Andalusia via the UNIA ticket service:  sacu.unia.es , selecting the help group CENTRO ESPECIALIZADO DE APOYO A LA INVESTIGACIÓN (Specialised Research Support Centre).

The workshop will be held in Baeza, at the “Antonio Machado Headquarters”, a XVII century building turned into a Conference Centre of the International University of Andalusia (UNIA). A complex made up of two historic buildings: the Jabalquinto Palace (XV/XVI centuries) and the old Seminary (XVII century) located in the heart of the historic complex, among the old University, church of Santa Cruz, the cathedral and the Upper Town Halls.
This site includes a recently restored residence, where speakers and participants will be accommodated. This same space is where the meetings will be held, which facilitates social interaction and informal discussions. Baeza is a world historic heritage town, renowned for its Renaissance and Gothic buildings.
