SUMMARY:Cerebral Vascular Biology International Conference 2025
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to the CVB 2025 in Ann Arbor\, USA!\n  \nCerebral Vascular Biology (CVB) 2025 is the 15th international conference in a series devoted to research on the blood-brain barrier\, blood-CSF barriers and the neurovascular unit in health and disease. First hosted in Duluth\, Minnesota (1992)\, the conference rotates between North America\, Europe\, and Asia/Australasia with the last being in Uppsala\, Sweden (2023). CVB meetings bring together international experts and exciting cutting-edge research on topics varying from: the barriers in development and aging\, barrier regulation and changes during disease\, the barriers as a therapeutic target\, how to deliver therapeutics across the barriers\, and innovative methodologies. \nRegistration Information Here \nAccommodation Information Here \nProgram Information Here \n

SUMMARY:GRC Liquid Crystals Conference-Uniting Disciplines for Global Challenges: Liquid Crystals as Active and Learning Materials
DESCRIPTION:Venue and Travel Information \nRegistration \nThe Liquid Crystals GRC is a premier\, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research\, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide\, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities\, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks\, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages\, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field. \n\nThe Liquid Crystal GRC (LC-GRC)\, soon celebrating 55 years in 2027\, brings together leaders in the liquid crystal field and beyond to exchange the most promising research in the diverse and highly interdisciplinary liquid crystal field. This conference brings together chemists\, physicists\, engineers and other disciplines\, researchers from across the world and at all career stages. Liquid crystal research is at an exciting frontier: more new phases have been discovered in the last decade than in the field’s entire history\, and these discoveries open up new vistas for fundamental as well as applications in new domains like soft robotics\, actuators and sensors\, active and living matter\, and augmented reality. By uniting approaches from many different perspectives\, this conference aims to enable the research community to use liquid crystals to solve diverse global challenges and identify new connections to other research areas that can benefit from these remarkable materials. \nThe 2025 LC-GRC aims to promote and enhance networking opportunities for participants\, establishing collaborations. We hope to showcase both established voices and those new to the field\, and most importantly to give Junior researchers the stage to present their emerging new research\, with the latest findings towards new industry\, medical\, and life science applications. Within the informal discussions and camaraderie that has been key to the success of previous LC-GRC conferences\, we hope all attendees will reinforce\, create and forge new long-lasting scientific friendships and collaborations. \nAs usual\, the 2025 LC-GRC will be preceded by the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) to give early career scientists including students and postdocs the opportunity to share ideas\, foster future leadership\, promote independence and begin seeding and shaping the new future in liquid crystal research.
