Events

NE08 – Are we equipped to work interdisciplinarily? – On the lack of philosophical education for neuroscientists (18.45 – 20.30)

European Brain and Behaviour Society and Austrian Neuroscience Association are honoured to announce the co-organization of the Networking Event at the 2022 FENS Forum in Paris

NE15 – Brain capital and the young generation (18:45-20:30)

The accumulation of human and social capital must start at a young age as the brain develops rapidly during early childhood and adolescence.

SiE11 – Neuroethics roundtable workshop (14:00-15:30)

This roundtable workshop aims to bring together key actors in the field of neuroethics and provide a broad contextual overview as a foundation to discuss and prioritise coordinated actions with the broader neuroscience community.

SiE07 – Phasing out animal research: a justified worry for neuroscience? (18:45-20:30)

Join EARA and the FENS CARE Committee for a Q&A networking session on the pressure to phase out animal research, with experts from the European Commission and neuroscience community.

NE07 – CURE-ND: a European alliance to combat neurodegenerative diseases (18:45-20:30)

Together these partners embrace a joint effort to accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and nurture breakthroughs in the field of neurodegenerative diseases.

SE05 – The Neuroarcheology of brain disorders and GABA signals (July 7 15:00 until July 19:00)

Our satellite meeting is organized in the spirit of transcending the limits between experimental and applied research to illustrate how understanding brain development is indispensable to develop novel treatments of brain disorders including Autism, Parkinson, Huntington or Alzheimer Disease.

NE10 – Are we equipped to work interdisciplinarily? – On the lack of philosophical education for neuroscientists (18:45-20:30)

How can neuroscientists benefit from extending their expertise into philosophical realms? Philosophical thinking tradition excels in the analysis of arguments, the reflection on modes of justification, and the elaboration of limits of statements or concepts, which can expand the horizon of each neuroscientist. Sounds too theoretical? By means of concrete examples from scientific practice, we will show how interdisciplinary projects strongly benefit from conceptual and philosophical input.

SE10 – The cognitive thalamus (09:00-18:00)

Our satellite meeting is organized in the spirit of bringing together research colleagues who are interested in the thalamus and investigate its role in cognition, especially through its interactions with the hippocampal formation and prefrontal areas, its contribution to cognitive and behavioral brain functions and/or dysfunctions; and as a treatment target for neurological and psychiatric diseases.

SE12 – New vistas on circuit anatomy and function – from Cajal to now (14:30-19:30)

Meet at College de France to discuss new ways to study cellular circuits.

NE13 – Powering a new era in Brain Research : meet EBRAINS Research Infrastructure (18:45–20:30)

Learn how EBRAINS Research Infrastructure is supporting the future of brain science in Europe.
