About the Workshop

Caveolae have been discovered 60 years ago and intensively studied with over 7,000 publications in PubMed. Yet their functions are still poorly understood and remain often debated. This EMBO Workshop addresses a salient question in cell biology and human pathophysiology: How caveolae and related nanodomains play a structural and dynamic role in plasma membrane organization, and how is this translated into cellular functions in normal and pathophysiological contexts? If many biological functions of caveolae have been uncovered since their discovery in the 1950s, the field is revisiting these functions with the recent discovery of new features and new paradigms.

Our program focuses on the role that caveolae and their structural components, caveolins and cavins, play in membrane trafficking, signal transduction, extracellular matrix remodeling, lipid metabolism, cell mechanics, and development. These activities will be discussed in the context of human diseases since caveolae mutations and dysfunctions have been associated with cancer, pulmonary diseases, lipodystrophies, and muscular dystrophies, albeit with a poor mechanistic understanding and some remaining controversies. Our overall ambition is to identify underlying mechanistic principles to provide a consensual view on the role of caveolae and nanodomains in fundamental and clinical sciences.


About EMBO Courses and Workshops

EMBO Courses and Workshops are selected for their excellent scientific quality and timelines, provision of good networking activities for all participants and speaker gender diversity (at least 40% of speakers must be from the underrepresented gender).

Organisers are encouraged to implement measures to make the meeting environmentally more sustainable.

Selection criteria

Participants will be selected based on:

1. The scientific excellence of the abstract submitted and the published work in the area. The priority will be given to applicants representing novel avenues and approaches to studying caveolae and nanodomains.

2. Balancing the participation of junior (PhDs and post-docs) and established scientists.

3. Balancing the representation of scientists working in fundamental and clinical aspects of the field.

4. Representative distribution of gender and geographical location.

Abstract guidelines

Abstracts need to include a title, author list (with the presenting author underlined), affiliation of the presenting author, followed by a maximum of 200 words of text, including a brief introduction, results and conclusions.

Poster specifications

Posters should have a maximal size of A0 format (841 mm × 1189 mm), portrait orientation.

Travel grants

A limited number of travel grants are available for participants. Applicants do not need to apply separately for travel grants for this event but should indicate on the registration form if they wish to be considered for a travel grant. Selection of awardees is handled directly by the organizer who will notify all eligible participants. More information is available at EMBO Travel Grants' page.

Child care grant

EMBO Courses and Workshops offers grants to offset additional child care costs incurred by participants or speakers when participating at any EMBO Courses and Workshop funded meeting. Eligible costs include fees for a caregiver or child-care facility, travel costs for a caregiver, or travel costs for taking the child to the meeting etc. Please indicate on the registration form whether you would like to be considered for the grant. Please also describe how you intend to use the child care grant and specify the sum that you will need.
