Report With my Pr.Int application for a research stay I had the opportunity apply for funding for an international conference to enhance my international visibility as a researcher and to represent the RUB's research to an international audience. I attended the Neuroscience 2023 conference, which is the largest international Neuroscience conference. I presented my research as a poster and by that got helpful feedback to my research and was able to connect with researchers from the same field. The conference gave me a good overview about the current topics and limitations in the general field of neuroscience and regarding neurodegenerative diseases. Attending this conference was a great experience for the internationalization of my carreer and to get fresh input for my research.
