EMBO Workshop on Dendritic Anatomy, Molecules and Function

18-21 June 2016 – Foundation for Research and Technology – Hellas (FORTH), Heraklion, Crete.

Dendrites 2016 will provide the substrate for inter-neuronal communication and their nonlinear properties play a key role in information processing. Dendrites 2016 aims to bring together scientists from around the world to present their research on dendrites, ranging from the molecular to the anatomical and biophysical levels.

With the backdrop of an informal yet spectacular setting on Crete, the meeting has been carefully planned not only to satisfy our scientific curiosity but also to foster discussion and encourage interaction between attendees well beyond traditional presentations. In this spirit, the workshop will also provide a soft skills day for the training of young researchers in subjects such as scientific writing/publication issues, fundraising and gender balance.
