Congress & symposium We are pleased to invite you to the Dementia Update 2026, on March 26th! This day will be filled with an exciting program with actual and relevant topics. More infomation about the event will follow soon.

Course & workshop This interactive session will introduce practical tools and mindsets for designing research with patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and other stakeholders, rather than solely for them. Through a co-design “hackathon” format, you will explore how co-creation can strengthen the relevance, feasibility, and real-world impact of your current or future research.

Congress & symposium Join the ACS Career Development mini-sympsoium where 4 alumni and colleagues of Amsterdam UMC that have pursued their careers largely outside of academic research will speak about their career paths.

Course & workshop The "Fuel for Thought in NDD" workshop is designed as an international forum where researchers from diverse disciplines can share ideas and collaborate on the essential role of bio-energetics in neurodevelopmental disorders.

Congress & symposium Join us for an inspiring Translational Neuroscience Network morning symposium on “Causality through the lens of aging” on Friday, April 10, 2026. This energizing event will explore how some individuals defy cognitive decline - even in extreme old age - and others are predisposed to develop neurodegenerative disease across the aging trajectory.
