> The FP7 DOPAMINET Consortium  is pleased to announce the 2012 
> DOPAMINET Summer School which will take place on 19-20 July 2012 in 
> Trieste at SISSA - International School for Advanced Studies. The 
> theme and focus of the Summer School will be on Dopaminergic Neurons 
> and Parkinson's Disease.
>
> The Summer School goals are:
>
>     * to inspire and train PhD students, medical doctors and early
>       stage researchers involved in the study of neurodegenerative
>       diseases.
>     * to raise awareness of the recent research advances in the field
>       of Dopaminergic Neurons and in technologies for improving
>       therapeutic approaches to fight Parkinson's Disease: special
>       emphasis will be put on the impact of functional genomics.
>     * to promote participation in international dialogue and exchange
>       and to strengthen alliance with patients, care-takers
>       organizations and policy makers committed in shaping
>       evidence-based policies on neurodegenerative diseases.
>
> The Summer School is conceived as a focused and multi-disciplinary 
> networking platform to access the highest level of expertise from 
> leaders in the field of functional neurogenomics.
>
> The Summer School includes two  plenary lectures from Prof. Moussa 
> B.H. Youdim (Technion-Rappaport Family) and Prof. Alain Prochiantz, 
> (Collège de France).
>
> A roundtable with health policy makers and stakeholders from industry 
> and patient organizations is also planned.
