First announcement

We are excited and honored to announce our participation in the EU Consortium BICEPS (Beyond neuroInflammation: new Concepts to Elucidate the Peripheral immune system’s vital role in Parkinson’s disease), as representatives of Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade

http://www.membranetrafficking.com/biceps/index.html

We are privileged to join a network of prominent PD researchers across Europe, in the attempt to enlarge our understanding of the disease by exploring the role of the immune system.

At the heart of this initiative is our commitment to training the next generation of multidisciplinary Parkinson’s disease researchers. BICEPS is launching a network of 16 PhD positions across Europe, where young scientists will work at the intersection of neuroscience, immunology, cell biology and biochemistry.

Two PhD candidates will have the opportunity to complete their PhD training at the FMUB, focusing on molecular pathways of mitochondria-immune interaction (http://www.membranetrafficking.com/biceps/DC5.html) or the immune-inflammation axis as an early diagnostic target in PD (http://www.membranetrafficking.com/biceps/DC6.html). Our PhD candidate will be part of a dynamic European network, collaborating across disciplines to transform PD research beyond traditional neuro-centric approaches.

Full project description and application details are available at http://www.membranetrafficking.com/biceps/index.html

For more information, please contact Ivanka Markovic <ivanka.markovic@med.bg.ac.rs> (DC5) or Dušan Popadić <dusan.popadic@med.bg.ac.rs> (DC6)

Early applications are encouraged.

Deadline Extended!
Submission Process Updated!

Dear colleagues,

The Hellenic Society for Neuroscience (HSfN) is excited to offer early-career scientists a platform to present their innovative research at the ESN-HSN joint meeting. PhD students in the advanced stages of their research, as well as postdoctoral researchers who completed their degrees in 2022 or later, are invited to apply for an oral presentation at the HSfN Young Members’ Symposia (YMS), held during the 31st Biennial HSfN Meeting in Naxos, Greece, from May 18 to May 21, 2025. It is essential to note that periods of absence for parental leave or military service will not be taken into account.

Selected applicants will receive financial support from HSfN to cover registration fees, accommodation during the conference, and economy travel expenses to Naxos from their institution, with a reimbursement cap of 500 Euros upon submission of receipts. Award notifications will be sent by January 31, 2025, and awardees will be required to register and submit their presentation abstract through the meeting’s official website at https://www.ESN-HSN-naxos2025.com/.

Application submissions are open from November 1 to December 15, 2024. The application package should include:

·       an abstract (up to 250 words) for the proposed presentation in two versions (two separate files):

o   one including the title, author names, and affiliations

o   one including the title ONLY

·       a current CV with a list of publications, and

·       a recommendation letter from the PhD or postdoctoral supervisor.

·       If identifying as part of an underrepresented minority and you are willing to share this information, please complete a diversity statement*.

Abstracts will be evaluated by a committee set by the HSFN Officers through an initial blind review process, ranking applications based on merit. Final decisions will consider factors such as gender balance, geographic representation, subject coverage, and diversity.

Please email applications to hsfn18@gmail.com and CC the HSFN President, Dr. Vassilis Raos, at vasraos@gmail.com.

We look forward to your contributions and to celebrating your research at this exciting event!

Warm regards,

HSfN
