They have gained increasingly more attention over the past decade as more research shows that they are key contributors to neural circuit development and function. There is also increasing evidence that microglia are important in the etiology of many nervous system diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Session Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul

The registration fee waiver covers the registration sum that you have paid to attend the meeting. Conference participants are not required to pre-pay the registration fee to be selected for a fee waiver for a virtual meeting. If you have already paid the registration fee and are awarded a fee waiver, it will be reimbursed after the meeting. Course participants are required to pay the course fee in advance, which will then be reimbursed after the recipient has attended the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Childcare Grants<br><\/strong><br>For participants and speakers with childcare responsibilities there is the possibility to apply for a grant,&nbsp;provided by the EMBL Advanced Training Centre Corporate Partnership Programme and EMBO, to offset childcare costs incurred when participating at a virtual event. Eligible costs include fees for a babysitter or childcare facility or travel costs for a care giver. Please note that priority will be given to early stage researchers. Costs will be reimbursed after the meeting only once a reimbursement form and original receipts have been received. In order to apply for this grant, you must be registered by the abstract submission deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Application<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applications for financial assistance can be submitted via the submission portal* (for the submission of abstracts for conferences or the submission of motivation letters for courses) by completing the Financial Assistance Application Section (underneath the section for entering abstract\/motivation letter information). The link to the portal can be found in the registration confirmation email that you will receive after registering for the conference or course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For conferences, if you are not submitting an abstract, you can still apply for financial assistance in the submission portal. Take a look at t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/FA_instructions.pdf\">he instructions for applying for financial assistance<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Note that priority will be given to those submitting an abstract to present at the conference. In your application you will be asked to answer questions regarding your motivation for applying, and, for registration fee waivers, the reasons why your lab cannot fund your attendance and how your attendance will make a difference to your career. Application for financial support will not affect the outcome of your registration application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*For some events, applications for Childcare Grants will still be done by email. Information about the grant will be sent out shortly after the abstract\/motivation letter deadline. Please contact the event Conference Officer if you have any questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Selection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scientific organisers will select the recipients of registration fee waivers during the abstract selection process for conferences and the participant selection process for courses.&nbsp;Results will be announced approximately 3 &#8211; 4 weeks before the event start date.&nbsp;Selection results do not impact your admission to the meeting. Registration fee waiver selection is based on your current work or study location, your motivation for applying, the reasons for needing financial support and the impact this event will have on your career. Childcare grants are allocated based on career stage, with priority given to early stage researchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Further details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/fellowships\/external_funding_sources\/index.html\">list of external funding opportunities<\/a> and read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/eventreporter\/index.php\">information on attending a conference as an event reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For further information about financial assistance please refer to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/faqs\/faqs_participants\/index.html#FAQ_PA_trav1\">FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details  class=\"vf-details\" id=\"\"  >\n<summary class=\"vf-details--summary\">\nVirtual Participation Guidelines<\/summary>\n<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\">\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;<strong>do<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Use the event-specific hashtag as communicated during the event for any related tweets<\/li><li>Tweet unless the speaker specifically says otherwise<\/li><li>Be mindful of unpublished data<\/li><li>Be respectful in tone and content<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please&nbsp;<strong>don\u2019t<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Share the link to the conference platform with anyone else<\/li><li>Broadcast the conference to unregistered participants<\/li><li>Capture, transmit or redistribute data presented at the meeting unless presenter gives explicit consent<\/li><li>Use offensive language in your posts<\/li><li>Engage in rudeness or personal attacks<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Additional information can be found in our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.embl.de\/training\/events\/info_participants\/codeofconduct\/index.php\">Code of Conduct<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"health\">Health and well-being<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important to stay healthy and move around, especially when you are attending an event virtually.

As such, they are important regulators of disease development and progression. Until recently, primary rodent or transformed human microglia have been the go-to models used to investigate these functions. In this webinar, we introduce human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived microglia, a new technology that overcomes some of the limitations of the more widely used models that may not be able to fully capture the genetic or cellular features of human diseases. We will review the critical factors for successful microglia differentiation from hPSCs, including high-quality PSC culture and hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. We will explain how to use STEMCELL Technologies\u2019 STEMdiff\u2122 Microglia Differentiation and Maturation Kits to obtain functional microglia from hematopoietic progenitor cells, and provide data to show that the resultant cells are similar to <em>in vivo<\/em> microglia. Finally, we will review some applications of this new technology, including co-culture with other neural cell types in two- and three-dimensional culture. Throughout the presentation, we will provide relevant examples from the literature to demonstrate how these new technologies are being used to address a variety of research questions. This overview will interest those who study glial biology and neuroinflammation, even if they are new to PSC culture.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","embl_taxonomy":[],"class_list":["post-1152","vf_event","type-vf_event","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"embl_taxonomy_terms":[],"vf_event_start_date":{"value":"20211028","formatted":"28 October 2021"},"vf_event_end_date":{"value":"20211029","formatted":"29 October 2021"},"vf_event_submission_opening":{"value":"","formatted":""},"vf_event_submission_closing":{"value":"20210914","formatted":"14 Sep 2021"},"vf_event_registration_opening":{"value":"","formatted":""},"vf_event_registration_closing":{"value":"20211029","formatted":"29 Oct 2021"},"vf_event_summary":{"value":"Microglia are a resident macrophage of the central nervous system at the intersection of immunology and neuroscience.
