Achucarro International Glia School 2021 will be on-line

The current edition maintains the core of activities of our training and networking event.

The current situation regarding Covid-19 pandemic restrictions is a major obstacle to organize the 2021 edition of our Glia School in the format we originally planned.

We have therefore decided to switch to an on-line format. This modification implies that poster sessions and practical demonstrations will not take place, while we will maintain the lectures and research project (grant) elaboration including the brainstorming session supervised by the speakers.
