The 12th international workshop on the CCN family of genes took place at the Scandic Holmenkollen Park Hotel in Oslo, Norway from June 20-23, 2024. In 2024, it was the second time, following the Nice meeting in 2022, that the scientific topics were expanded to include additional cellular signaling and communication pathways of interest to the CCN Society members, as suggested by Bernard Perbal in 2019. The 12th international CCN workshop, organized by Håvard Attramadal and Vivi T. Monsen, along with co-organizers Bernard and Annick Perbal, was given the subtitle "Cell-matrix Communication and Functions in Health and Disease" to encompass the broader scope of this meeting. The five scientific sessions covered various topics: Extracellular Matrix Proteins in Cell Communication and Signaling (Chaired by Brahim Chaqour and Vivi T. Monsen), Vascular Development and Pathophysiology (Chaired by Lester F. Lau and Håvard Attramadal), Mechanisms of Diseases (Chaired by George Bou-Gharios and Satoshi Kubota), Tissue Development and Homeostasis (Chaired by Blandine Poulet and Bernard Perbal), and Mechanisms of Disease: Cancer and the Matrix (Chaired by Stephen M. Twigg and Raymond B. Birge). The 2024 ICCNS Award was presented to Katia Scotlandi during the last session (Chaired by Bernard Perbal) before Håvard Attramadal presented the conclusion of the workshop.
