With the aim of bringing together and putting in contact researchers, postdocs, and predocs, along with the University of Ume\u00e5 and the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, the NeurotechEU allied university KI has gathered over 200 participants on 27th and 28th May. Among them, from the Miguel Hern\u00e1ndez University of Elche (UMH), senior researchers from the Institute of Neurosciences, a joint centre of the UMH and the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umh.es\/contenido\/Estudios\/:persona_147931\/datos_es.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inmaculada Cuchillo <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umh.es\/contenido\/Estudios\/:persona_131536\/datos_es.html?marcaTxtBusc=augusto%20escalante\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Augusto Escalante<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, attended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The StratNeuro Retreat is a multidisciplinary initiative held in the Djurhamn archipelagos. Over a day and a half, attendees enjoyed keynote lectures, symposia, poster sessions, and blitz presentations. According to Escalante, &#8220;Each component of the program offered something unique, whether it was learning about cutting-edge imaging technologies, discussing translational projects, or listening to field experts in neuroscience.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The annual retreat works as a \u201cmeeting point\u201d for established experts and early-career researchers, as Escalante explains. In that sense, for Inmaculada Cuchillo, attending the StratNeuro Retreat provided an opportunity to learn about the work KI researchers are conducting in her field, Alzheimer&#8217;s disease. As the Assistant Professor adds, &#8220;I had the chance to see how they work with techniques I don&#8217;t use, such as brain imaging.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-1226\" src=\"https:\/\/neurotecheu.umh.es\/files\/2025\/06\/StartNeuro-Retreat-2025-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"385\" srcset=\"https:\/\/neurotecheu.umh.es\/files\/2025\/06\/StartNeuro-Retreat-2025-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/neurotecheu.umh.es\/files\/2025\/06\/StartNeuro-Retreat-2025-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/neurotecheu.umh.es\/files\/2025\/06\/StartNeuro-Retreat-2025-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/neurotecheu.umh.es\/files\/2025\/06\/StartNeuro-Retreat-2025-1536x1023.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/neurotecheu.umh.es\/files\/2025\/06\/StartNeuro-Retreat-2025.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Inmaculada Cuchillo, the theme of the meeting was very varied and fostered a space for exchanging ideas. \u201cI left the 2025 StratNeuro Retreat feeling energized and full of new ideas,\u201d adds Augusto Escalante.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The StratNeuro retreat is an initiative born at The European University of Brain and Technology allied member, the Karolinska Institutet.
