THEMED WORKSHOPS
In addition to the regular ENMC workshop applications, where topics of the workshops originate from the workshop organisers, ENMC is launching a call for themed workshops applications. This programme prepares the stepping stones for the future by listening to the needs of the neuromuscular patient and research community. With a “Themed Call”, ENMC provides workshop funding opportunities for 1 or 2 themed workshops per year, focusing on pre-identified themes which:
- are of broader interest to more than one condition (transversal workshops)
- require a multidisciplinary approach
- are topics and/or diseases that are not often discussed in a workshop and are therefore unique
- are groundbreaking, strategic and require development of a sustainable platform in the future
At the 2nd ENMC General Assembly Meeting in April 2025, the ENMC Full Partners, Associated Partners, members of the Research Committee and members of the Company Forum selected two themes:
1. Improving transition from being a child to an adult with neuromuscular disease
2. Assessing meaningful long-term outcomes of gene therapy
The themes are broad, hence ENMC does not expect that all sub-categories are covered in a workshop application. Organisers, who would like to pick up one of these themes and apply for an ENMC workshop, may focus on one or more topics which are related to the theme. Organisers further define the rationale, background, objectives and resulting deliverables of the workshop, according to the ENMC Workshop Application Guidelines and the additional Guidelines for Themed Workshop Applications.
The submission deadline is: 1 March 2026. If you seek support in this process, please do not hesitate to contact us and/or send a preliminary draft for a first check by the office: enmc@enmc.org.
