8th International Symposium on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration (ISPNR)

The International Symposium on Peripheral Nerve Regeneration (ISPNR) has emerged as a leading forum for scientists and clinicians dedicated to restoring nerve function and improving patient outcomes. Over the years, this symposium, organized by the European Society for the Study of Peripheral Nerve Repair & Regeneration (ESPNR), has evolved from a specialized meeting into a global platform where innovative ideas are translated into novel technologies and therapies that shape the future of nerve repair. 

This 8th edition, held in Granada in June 2026, will focus on the next generation of strategies for peripheral nerve repair and regeneration (clinical and surgical studies, biofabrication techniques, novel scaffolds & biomaterials, cellular-based therapies, and cellular & molecular processes involved in nerve regeneration). By bringing together multidisciplinary researchers & specialized clinicians, this meeting aims to accelerate translation and address key challenges in the field.

Regarding the location, Granada is a historic and culturally vibrant city in southern Spain, renowned for its unique blend of Moorish and European heritage. Set at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, it is home to the Alhambra, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most iconic monuments in Europe. The host institution of the 8th ISPNR, the University of Granada (UGR), founded in 1531, is one of Spain’s oldest universities and among the most prestigious institutions of higher education in the country. Renowned for its strong international profile, UGR sustains a large and diverse academic community conducting multidisciplinary research, with particular strengths in the health sciences, biotechnology, engineering, and the humanities.
