Transylvanian Experimental Neuroscience Summer School (TENSS)
TENSS concentrates top-level international expertise to teach a dozen students techniques and concepts in experimental systems neuroscience. We focus on modern optical and electrophysiological methods to study the connectivity and function of neuronal circuits. The course is designed to be intensive and highly interactive, including both lab sessions and theoretical lectures. At TENSS, we specifically teach the fundamentals of methods and focus on hacking, open-source tools, and creative problem solving, giving attendees the ability to carry out creative cutting edge experiments regardless of the resources of their home labs or institutions.
Tentative dates for next edition: 1st-20th June 2024
FENS/IBRO-PERC Exchange Fellowships Programme
Learn a new technique abroad!
Directed at Master’s or PhD students and early postdoctoral fellows located in Europe, the FENS/IBRO-PERC Exchange Fellowships Programme aims to foster and broaden the scope of their methodological training by supporting goal-directed laboratory visits in established European laboratories.
Application deadline: 15th April 2024
Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain 2024
The 2024 Summer Workshop on the Dynamic Brain is an intensive, project-based residential course with a focus on the neurobiology of sensory processing, coding, and neural population dynamics. This program is intended for researchers at the graduate and postdoctoral level with an interest in developing the intersection of their scientific knowledge and their computational skills.
Dates: 18th August-1st September 2024
Application deadline: 1st February
CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training 2024
The CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme was founded by The Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) and the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) to establish a high-level neuroscience training hub in Europe.
The CAJAL Programme aims to teach basic and fundamental neuroscience concepts as well as state-of-the-art techniques, data analysis and computer skills to train the next generation of top-notch neuroscientists.
Simula Summer School in Computational Physiology
The annual summer school is designed to give postgraduate students the opportunity to perform cutting edge research with the world's leading researchers in their fields. Students spend 2 weeks of formal lectures and project work in June at Simula (Oslo, Norway), followed by 1.5 weeks of workshops, joint project work, and a final presentation in August at the University of California, San Diego (La Jolla, USA).
ENCODS 2024
The European Neuroscience Conference by Doctoral Students (ENCODS) is an initiative started by graduate students back in 2013. The ENCODS 2024 Meeting will take place in Vienna, Austria before the FENS Forum 2024 (Vienna, 25th-29th June). The theme is "Emerging Technologies in Neuroscience: Unveiling the Next Frontiers".
Event Dates: 23rd-24th June 2024
