Introduction
This symposium is a joint initiative of the Neuropsychology Lab at KU Leuven (Prof. Céline Gillebert and Dr. Hanne Huygelier) and the SMARTneurolab at Utrecht University (Prof. Tanja Nijboer).
We welcome everyone with an interest in psychological research into stroke, including clinicians and researchers, Bachelor / Master students, PhDs and Postdoctoral researchers. The symposium will be held as a hybrid event, on-site in Leuven (Belgium) and online. The objective of this symposium is to gather Belgian and Dutch clinicians and researchers interested in the psychological aspects of stroke. The goal is to give young stroke researchers the opportunity to present their work, to meet other researchers working in the same field, and to facilitate communication and collaboration between researchers and clinicians.
Registration CLOSED
The abstract submission and the registration for on site and online participation are now closed.
