JOURNALISTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE VIRTUAL 12TH FENS FORUM OF NEUROSCIENCE, 11-15 JULY 2020

The FENS Forum is Europe’s largest neuroscience meeting bringing together around 7,000 brain researchers.

As a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the FENS Forum 2020 will be held entirely virtually – accessible from all over the world! 

Behaviour, regeneration, brain disorders and environmental factors are just a few of the key topics to be covered in an outstanding scientific programme. By uniting thousands of participants online, the FENS Forum is a virtual meeting point for the world’s top experts, mid-career scientists, postdocs and students.

Press Centre

There will be a Virtual Press Centre, based in London. We will produce and distribute press materials. We will host press conferences and informal ‘Neurotalk’ discussions with Forum speakers and arrange interviews for you with neuroscientists. We can also give you access to expert opinion. 

In order for you to join the Virtual Press Centre you will need to register for the FENS Forum 2020 as a member of press. Please use the application form below:
