Meals, lunches:
The organizers got the opportunity to offer lunches at the symposium venue, free of charge for the participants. It is just an extra offer from organizers; they cannot provide for any special dietary requirements. You can find the menu in the attachment (in English and Slovak), it will also be available at registration, as well as the tickets needed to pick up the lunch. If you want to have lunch at the symposium venue, you need to order lunch in advance during registration, preferably a day in advance, but no later than 8:30 a.m. on the day of the lunch. You will be given a lunch ticket which is required to get your lunch.
There are also many options for participants who cannot take advantage of lunch offer (e.g. special diet), or want to have lunch outside; the symposium venue is located right in the heart of the busy Main Street.

Coffee breaks:
Coffee breaks will be served in the atrium, the same area where the posters are located. Except for Monday afternoon Coffee break, which will be served on the corridor, because atrium will be prepared for Welcome Party. Coffee breaks may be shortened if the previous scientific session lasts longer than planned.

Social program:
Two social events are planned for the participants. On Monday, a Welcome Party with light refreshments will take place directly in the symposium venue, in the atrium where the posters are located. It should be an informal opportunity to meet, discuss and chat.
On Tuesday, the organizers want to present a special region of eastern Slovakia – the Tokaj region. We ask the participants to be ready to board the buses immediately after the end of the scientific session ” Neuroregeneration – cell based therapy, neurogenesis I”. The bus stop is about 500 meters from the lecture hall, so be prepared for the possibility of rain. Buses will take us to the village of “Velka Trna” with special vineyards and tuff cellars. In one such wine cellar there will be a wine tasting with local sommeliers (without rain, it will be underground :-)). After the tasting, there will be a small reception with another glass of wine, also with the possibility of purchasing special wines. Please, it is important to be punctual because the buses cannot wait! If you don’t drink wine, don’t worry, you should attend for the explanation and refreshments; but let us know so we can specify participation in wine tastings.

Symposium venue:
The symposium will take place in the auditorium and atrium of the Catholic University in Košice. It is located directly on Hlavná Street in Košice. Hlavná ulica is the center of the city of Košice, it is a pedestrian zone full of restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops, museums, etc. The center of Košice can be reached on foot, most hotels are in close proximity. There are several landmarks on the main street:

The registration for 9th International Symposium on Experimental and Clinical Neurobiology is officially completed. Thank you for registering, we received almost 70 applications. It will be a great opportunity for scientists and doctors in the field of neuroscience to meet.

Here are some updates:

Duration of the symposium:
After evaluating the number of lectures and posters, the organizing committee decided that the symposium will last until June 5, when it will end in the afternoon. Please be aware that Sunday, June 2, is dedicated only to the registration of participants, so the scientific program of the symposium will take place on June 3 – 5, 2024.

Symposium program:
After registration, we started working on the proposal of a preliminary program that will also take into account your time requirements. We will send it to you as soon as possible, also for your inspection and correction. Each participant should receive a confirmation by e-mail about the registration, as well as about the submission of the abstract. If you did not receive a confirmation email, please let us know.

Poster presentations:
We would like to remind participants who are planning a poster presentation to adhere to the set size of the poster (100 x 70 cm, h x w), in the case of larger posters it will not be possible to install them.

Accommodation:
We believe that each participant has already secured accommodation, the organizing committee has not received any more requests, therefore we are canceling advance reservations in hotels.

Fee payment and other issues:
If you have a problem with the transfer and payment of the registration fee, please contact the organizing committee at this e-mail address. Likewise with any questions about the symposium.

Dear participants and invited lecturers, deadline for abstract submission is quickly approaching (May 10, 2024). Please submit your abstracts to make preparation of Abstract Book easier.
