The international NGF meetings are an intermittent series of conferences on neurotrophic factors and neuronal survival and repair, held in alternating years to the Gordon Conference on Neurotrophic Factors. The next international NGF meeting will be held as a Katzir Conference on Life and Death in the Nervous System, at Kfar Blum, Upper Galilee, Israel, between September 4 to September 8, 2008. Speakers will be selected based on scientific excellence in topics within the broad theme of life and death in the nervous system. In order to open up the meeting as much as possible to new and cutting edge research, approximately 50% of the talks will be selected from submitted abstracts. Further information on the meeting may be obtained from the secretariat, contact details below:
