XIV European Meeting on Glial Cells in Health and Disease

Meet the Speakers


To promote interactions between speakers and delegates a new session called “meet the speakers” was created this year.
All speakers and delegates are invited to meet and get in contact in an informal way. The sessions will take place during the lunch breaks from Thursday to Saturday; please find the schedule below.
