The German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE), together with the University of Bonn and the Max Planck Institute for Neurobiology of Behavior – caesar; are hosting the 8th international BonnBrain3 Conference. From March 23-25, 2026, students, post-docs, young investigators, and representatives of the industrial sector are invited to participate in symposia sessions, keynotes, poster sessions, short talks, and networking opportunities across disciplines. This international event emphasizes scientific exchange across disciplines, aiming to strengthen the local neuroscience community while fostering global collaboration.
