NASSA Kick-Off Meeting
June 3, 2026 @ 09:00 – 17:20 CEST
The NASSA (Nordic Alliance for Single-Cell and Spatial Analysis) Kick-Off Meeting brings together invited experts from all four partner countries (Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland) in single-cell and spatial analysis.
Explore the latest technologies, meet the people behind them, and get early insight into what is becoming available across the Nordic infrastructures. This is a unique opportunity to discover new methods, discuss your research needs, and connect directly with experts shaping the future of the field. Join us to stay ahead of the rapidly evolving single-cell and spatial landscape!
Event highlights include:
- Allow partners & participants to meet and get to know each other, align visions, share bottlenecks, and define collaborative priorities.
- Define plans for future hub activities, including working groups, benchmarking exercises, technology scouting, and joint training initiatives.
- Mapping Nordic infrastructure and initiating structured strategies. The NASSA Kick-Off establishes a foundation for a sustainable, collaborative hub, positioning SciLifeLab as a central coordinator in this rapidly evolving technical landscape.
The NASSA Kick-Off Meeting is open for everyone. We will wrap up the 3 June with a joint event-dinner at Inspira! The following day, June 4th, there will be a semi-open half-day NASSA workshop (separate program) at Belfragesalen (BMC, D15), Lund.
Registration deadline: May 8, 2026
This event is free of charge, but please note that a fee of 600 SEK will be charged in case of no-shows without prior notice.
Updates Workshop
The preliminary plan for the workshop 4 June (9:00-12:00): Introduction of NASSA, followed by focused breakout sessions. Participants will then join one of four parallel tracks covering:
(i) wet lab practices for single-cell and spatial workflows
(ii) imaging versus sequencing-based spatial technologies
(iii) bioinformatics for single-cell and spatial data
(iv) core facility infrastructure and sustainability
The morning will conclude with a short presentation of session outcomes and a wrap-up discussion.
Venue for the Workshop: Belfragesalen D15, Klinikgatan 32, BMC in Lund
