Abstract

The 3 day workshop "Alzheimer's Fast Track" is a unique opportunity for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, or other early-career scientists, focused on Alzheimer's disease research, to gain new knowledge and become an expert in where this emerging scientific field is moving. In addition, it is not only about receiving a good overview, but also learning to write and defend a successful application for securing funding for Alzheimer's disease research projects.
