On Wednesday June 19, partners from RCSI organized an annual project meeting in Dublin, during which project progress, milestones, secondments, successes and issues (both management- and research-wise) were discussed, and plans for the remaining year of the project were drafted.
The next day's workshop - Thursday June 20 - was dedicated solely to science. In a hybrid format (on site & online), eight speakers gave their talks on their respective fields of research, touching upon e.g. Imaging techniques for Neuroscience applications; Epigenetics; Purinoreceptors and brain diseases, and more.

Two experienced researchers from the Institute of Neuroimmunology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences -- Ms. Petra Majerová, Ph.D. and Prof. Andrej Kováč, Ph.D. -- arrived at the Sanata Dharma University, Indonesia to complete their planned RISE secondments and further deepen the institutions' mutual cooperation and partnership in Tau-related research.

Organized by INSAS, the first InterTAU Summer School took place at the Congress Centre of Slovak Academy of Sciences at Smolenice castle in the Smolenice town, Slovakia. The event gathered technicians, early-stage researchers with their peer mentors – experienced researchers. Several of participating students and mentors were previously on a secondment under the InterTAU project. The title and major theme of the Summer School was “Drug Discovery: Focus on Biologics”.
Participants of the summer school came from a large variety of life science and medical disciplines. The largest groups have a chemical or biochemical background, there were also student graduates in biotechnology, pharmacy, veterinary medicine, structural biology, botany, genetics. The current fields of study of participants in their PhD or master programmes were prevalently focused on structural biology and neuroscience, which fitted particularly well with the theme of the InterTAU project and Summer School. The students came from nine countries (Slovakia, Czechia, Lithuania, India, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Ireland, Argentina, Serbia). Mentors of the School were Senior scientists of InterTAU project partners, supplemented with the senior scientists coming prevalently from Central and Western Europe. They came from six countries (Slovakia, Czechia, Latvia, Ireland, Canada, Germany, Japan). We succeeded to gather 40 students for the summer school, as anticipated in the project.

Two InterTAU project meetings were organized in mid-June in the Smolenice Castle, in the Slovak town of Smolenice. Current as well as newly acquired project partners (namely Biovendor from Czechia, Datamedrix from Austria, Geneton from Slovakia, and Sanata Dharma University, Indonesia) had a chance to meet and e-meet thanks to a hybrid format of the meetings. All important matters regarding the project's objectives, plan progression and possible upcoming secondments were discussed and a hope in successfull future cooperation expressed.
A meeting for the InterTAU project took place at C E I T E C with the (hybrid) participation of all project partners and manager from Brussels. It was an excellent opportunity to present scientific achievements, solve some administrative challenges and gain fresh energy for the next half of the project.
