Annual StratNeuro Retreat
The StratNeuro retreat is our annual meeting targeted to our neuroscience community at Karolinska Institutet (KI), Umeå University (UMU) and the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH). Our aim is to cover a broad range of neuroscience topics from the different departments and institutions in the StratNeuro constellation.
The 2023 StratNeuro Retreat will be held at Djurönäset on 29-30 May. Registration is now open!
Programme
The programme is available on our calendar event page.
The scientific programme will consist of three plenary sessions, a poster session, and two break-out sessions with two parallel mini-symposia/workshops in each session.
The programme covers a broad range of neuroscience topics from the different departments and institutions in the Stratneuro, as well as wider NeuroTechEU "constellation".
The poster session on the evening of 29 May is a major highlight of the StratNeuro retreat where participants will have the opportunity to network and discuss all the latest exciting work, while enjoying some snacks and drinks.
Several KI Core Facilities and infrastructures serving the Neuroscience community will also be participating at the poster session.

Welcome!
The 2022 StratNeuro Retreat took place at Runö in Åkersberga between 18-20 May. It was a somewhat special retreat and many were eager to meet again. The organisers worked particularly hard to make this meeting a productive and memorable one.
The StratNeuro 2019 retreat was held at Sånga-Säby on 1-2 October.
