XVIII Workshop on Neurobiology of Epilepsy (WONOEP 2025)

XVIII Workshop on Neurobiology of Epilepsy (WONOEP 2025) is organized by International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) and will be held from Aug 25 - 29, 2025 at Onyria Quinta da Marinha Hotel, Cascais, Lisbon, Portugal.

The Topic and Theme of the meeting is “The Resilient Brain.”

Description:
This WONOEP will focus on how the brain resists and adapts to epilepsy. What prevents seizures from happening more often? What processes act against epileptogenesis? How do our genomes confer resilience? Which genes switch on/off to help repair, adapt and endure? How do cells and networks change within local and distant brain regions and what is the role of neuro- and gliogenesis, neuroprotection, and resident and non-resident inflammatory and immune responses? What are the therapeutic and diagnostic applications of this knowledge?

The WONOEP program includes:

• Four night accommodation inclusive of breakfast in a private ensuite room at Hotel Onyria Quinta da Marinha (25 - 28 August, inclusive)
• A two-and-a-half-day educational program on The resilient brain (26 - 28 August inclusive)
• Lunches and coffee breaks on three days (26 - 28 August inclusive)
• A welcome reception, and evening dinners on three days
• An afternoon exploring the local area
• Group transportation from the hotel to Congress Centre Lisbon (CCL) on 29 August
