Funding to attend the Shaping Life 2 meeting (2021)
Call for applicants closed Results announced

Presentation of the call

The Shaping Life 2 international meeting will finally take place ONLINE from 7 to 9 April 2021.

Among the invited speakers, note the participation of Paola Arlotta (Cambridge, USA) and Denis Jabaudon (Geneva, Switzerland) whose laboratories 1/ study the molecular/genetic programs that control brain development and the formation of neural circuits and 2/ develop strategies for brain repair. Their approaches are highly original, combining the use of complex genetic tools, human brain organoid cultures and/or single-cell omics studies.

NeuroMarseille proposes to fund up to 35 registrations to the conference in order to allow its members to attend. Students and post-docs will have priority but researchers and technical staff can also apply.

Even if you apply for this call, you will then have to register on the conference website to participate!

If you have already submitted an abstract and paid the registration fee on the Shaping Life website, you can still apply for our funding. If you are selected, we will try to refund your registration.
