On 14 -17th of March 2023 the TRR274 held its first international retreat at the beautiful conference centre of Kloster Irsee. We had the pleasure to welcome distinguished experts in the field of immunology, glial biology and neurobiology in the context of our TRR274 theme “checkpoints of CNS recovery”.

The first “TRR274 Young Investigator Retreat” was a big success! Between February 22 and 24, the PhD students and Postdoctoral fellows working on the projects of our transregio got together to get to know each other and exchange about their research.
