The Brain in Motion
— 32nd SOFPEL Congress



Place: CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland

Date: 03.12.2026 - 04.12.2026

Open to: Public


ABOUT THE EVENT

The 32nd SOFPEL Congress will take place in Lausanne, Switzerland, bringing together the scientific community for two days of exchange and discussion around the theme “The Brain in Motion.” 

This edition will explore the dynamic nature of brain function across development, behaviour, health and disease, highlighting how neural systems adapt, reorganise and interact with movement, environment and experience. Organised at Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV), the congress will provide a forum for researchers and clinicians to share recent advances, foster interdisciplinary dialogue and reflect on emerging perspectives in neuroscience.

Space Radiography Workshop
— First International Workshop



Place: Villa Orlandi, Capri, Italy

Date: 24.09.2026 - 25.09.2026

Open to: Public


ABOUT THE EVENT

The First International Workshop on Space Radiography will bring together researchers and experts to explore the role of X-ray imaging in human spaceflight. The workshop will focus on the use of radiography for monitoring astronauts’ health during long-duration and deep-space missions, addressing current diagnostic gaps through fast, low-dose imaging and AI-supported interpretation. 

Discussions will cover clinical applications for astronaut health assessment, emergency and diagnostic imaging in extraterrestrial environments, technological challenges of portable radiographic systems, and the translation of terrestrial research into space applications.

Greenland Ahoy!
— Perspectives on a Colonial Legacy



Place: Bernisches Historisches Museum, Einstein Museum Helvetiaplatz 5, Bern, Switzerland

Date: 16.09.2025 - 31.05.2026

Open to: Public


ABOUT THE EVENT

Greenland Ahoy! – Perspectives on a Colonial Legacy is a major exhibition at the Bernisches Historisches Museum that explores Switzerland’s historical relationship with Greenland and the wider Arctic. The show invites visitors to reflect on cultural connections, historical expeditions, and colonial entanglements spanning centuries. It presents artefacts and narratives that highlight how Swiss explorers, scientists and travellers engaged with Greenland when it was a Danish colony, and how these encounters shaped both scientific knowledge and cultural imagination.
