Since 2007, the QPRN has held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for its members (a 2-day event in a central location in Quebec). This event is an excellent opportunity for all members to present their work, network, develop productive collaborations and receive scientific updates from leading experts in the field of pain research. On this occasion, researchers are invited to share laboratory results and new consortia progress will be presented. This event is a great opportunity to practice communicating scientific ideas and concepts and to seek collaborations.
This year, regular members, student members, partners (including clinical experts, research professionals and patient partners) will meet to discuss ongoing research projects and their progress. The event will also be an opportunity to welcome and integrate new members, strengthen existing collaborations or create new ones, and take stock of the year’s progress and future objectives.
Registrations are open from October 3rd to October 31st.
As the number of places is limited, we invite you to register as soon as possible. The preliminary programme will be available on the registration platform. Priority will be given to regular, trainees and partner members. A monetary contribution will be requested from participants this year. Members will be asked to pay $200 when they register, and trainees will be asked to pay $100. Up to five students per laboratory may register, up to a maximum of 100. Each student must submit an abstract in the “Submission” section; please note that an existing poster may be used. As in previous years, research professionals, clinical experts and spouses of regular and associate members are invited to attend, at their own expense..
