Ninth International Symposium on Neurobiology and Neuroendocrinology of Aging 

Bregenz, Austria

http://www.neurobiology-and-neuroendocrinology-of-aging.org/

 

The objective of these Symposia is to bring together scientists who have made recent major advances in the study of aging ranging from neuroendocrinology, neurobiology, genetics, and molecular  mechanisms to practical  issues of treatment and care of the elderly and patients with age-related cognitive decline.  Our goals are to bring together speakers who normally would not meet at a conference devoted solely to Alzheimer's disease, molecular biology of aging, clinical geriatrics, or other commonly covered topics.  We hope to maintain a similarly wide representation at the 2008 gathering. 

The format of the meeting is 4½ days of brief lectures with ample time for discussion, and afternoons left open for recreation and informal interactions.  This creates an atmosphere conducive to in-depth analysis of research results and their implications.  The site of the meeting is in a renovated complex of beautiful old buildings of the Collegium Bernardi, a boarding school operated by Kloster Mehrerau, within walking distance to the shore of the magnificent Lake Constance, Bregenz City Park, and a nature preserve.
