FORWARD TOGETHER – NEUROSENSE SUMMIT 2023

8-9 September 2023 | i3S, Porto

We are thrilled to welcome you to the 2nd NEUROSENSE Summit – Forward Together which will take place on September 8 and 9, 2023 in Porto, Portugal. In this meeting, we reiterate our commitment to walk the path toward the creation of the first predictive and preventive SUDEP medical device alongside the epilepsy community. The 2023 Summit will be focused on reviewing the progress of the NEUROSENSE project and discussing strategies for our future growth and development. Your presence and input will be extremely valuable in helping us shape our direction to achieve our goals and to meet the real needs of people with epilepsy, their families and caregivers.

The first day (Open Session) of the event is open to the scientific community.

The second day of the event (Closed Session) is dedicated to members of the NEUROSENSE consortium, members of the NEUROSENSE External Expert Advisory Board, and members of the NEUROSENSE Patient Advisory Board. 

The meeting will be held at i3S – Instituto de Investigação e Inovação em Saúde, University of Porto.
