About the conference

The annual PhD conference of NRSN is the perfect arena to meet other students in neuroscience from all over Norway and to practice your conference and presentation skills in a friendly atmosphere. 

The 2024 conference will take place at Jegtvolden Fjordhotell on 18th-20th of September. 

Highlights:

• Oral presentations
• Poster sessions
• Keynote lectures
• Social activities 
• Dinners and networking

During the conference, all participants will present their work through either an oral presentation or a blitz/poster presentation. Read more about that here.

The programme can be found here.

Who can participate?

The conference is open to all members of NRSN. There is no registration fee and travel and accomodation costs are covered for all participants. Additionally, non-member PhD students, master students, and postdocs whose supervisor has registered NRSN members in their lab are also welcome to attend the conference free of charge.

If you are a non-member PhD student who is unable to register as a member but is highly eager to attend the conference, we will allow participation for a small fee. Please contact us for more information. 

Neuroscience is broadly defined and the conference aims at being equally relevant for students working within all subfields of neuroscience. We encourage students to attend from the very start of their research project to the last year of their PhD, as this gives them the chance to develop their professional network and improve their presentation skills over time, and to receive feedback on their projects at different stages.
