Events

At the Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative, one of our foundational principles is the belief that breaking down silos and encouraging early and frequent knowledge sharing can accelerate scientific discovery in research. By fostering conversations across the scientific community, we hope to spark new ideas that can fill the knowledge gaps that exist in the Parkinson’s disease field.

We host and support virtual and in-person events that bring together researchers from across disciplines and career levels to facilitate connections, discuss knowledge gaps, and provide an avenue for sharing ideas. See below for a summary of upcoming and past events open to the research community.
