Special Interest Events

This is your chance to meet with representatives from business, industry and public sectors, all with a neuroscience background. The speakers will share with you how their neuroscience background contributed to their career-paths.

How can you best use Twitter in your science life? An interactive events to get some tips and tricks from a panel of specialists who use this tool to communicate and expand their research!

This special interest event offers a forum to discuss what we can do to adopt a more sustainable model for life-sciences. The organizers will present the results of a small survey performed among neuroscientists and their research institutes to trigger the discussion on the environmental footprint of our community and to start identifying solutions.

In this special event, we will hear about credibility initiatives that have the potential to increase the reproducibility, replicability, and reliability of neuroscience research, which will not only benefit scientific progress in the long-run, but also address a major cause for the poor mental health of research.

The aim of this workshop, which will be presented by the editors of four international, society-owned neuroscience journals, to discuss what happens to a paper once it is submitted to a journal.

Neuroscientists use a broad range of organisms to study brain function and behaviour. The Brain Debate aims at illustrating why different scientists study different systems and what can be achieved with different approaches.

With this panel discussion, the ALBA Network and The FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence provide an opportunity for supporting the careers of researchers from underrepresented groups.
