    https://www.esn-isn-neurochemistryschool2024.com/application !

    Entitled “Neurodegeneration, Inflammation, and Cancer”, this ESN-ISN School
    will bring together 24 young scientists (PhD students and postdocs,
    competitively chosen for their academic performance) from European and
    neighboring countries and distinguished faculty to explore the mechanisms of
    the common functional pathways in neurodegeneration, inflammation, and
    cancer, which apparently show intriguing and intricate interrelations.

    For one week, attendees, who will receive full support for travel and all
    incurred expenses during the School term, will take part in advanced

  • FENS Virtual workshop on Publishing

    European Journal of Neuroscience Wiley /FENS
    Virtual workshop on Publishing
    Organized by the Mediterranean Neuroscience Society

    Tuesday December 12th, 2023
    10:00-11:00 a.m. CET (Rome time)

    This workshop will give an overview of the goal of the journal, the review process and its role as the official journal of the FENS, with the aim of educating (young) scientists in what actually happens to their paper once submitted for publication. The workshop will also highlight the importance of ethical practices and considerations, emphasizing the value of integrity, transparency, and fairness throughout the publishing process. Attendees should gain a better understanding of the importance of society-owned journals in supporting the neuroscience community. Details about the peer review process and ethical issues around reproducibility and scientific publishing will be provided. The workshop will also discuss hints on scientific paper writing and provide the opportunity of interacting with experienced researchers to seek personalized guidance. Following the presentation, ample time will be devoted to discussion with participants to assure that attendees gain a comprehensive understanding of the publishing process in a society-owned journal, like EJN.

  • FENS Forum 2024 & HSfN membership

    Αγαπητά μέλη της ΕΕΝ,

    Όπως όλοι θα ξέρετε το FENS Forum 2024 θα διεξαχθεί στη Βιέννη 25-29 Ιουνίου 2024. Η διεξαγωγή του FENS Forum 2024 τον Ιούνιο αντί τον Ιούλιο που ήταν το σύνηθες έχει σαν αποτέλεσμα να είναι νωρίτερα οι διάφορες σχετικές προθεσμίες.

    Έτσι το Deadline of the call for early registration, abstract submission and FENS travel grants είναι 9 February 2024.Δεδομένου ότι το νέο ΔΣ της ΕΕΝ αναλαμβάνει καθήκοντα στην αρχή του έτους και οι διαδικασίες για τη νομιμοποίηση του Ταμία από την Τράπεζα διαρκούν τουλάχιστον ένα μήνα, η δυνατότητα εγγραφής νέων μελών στην αρχή του 2024, πριν την προθεσμία της 9ης Φεβρουαρίου, είναι αμφίβολη. 

    Για το λόγο αυτό παρακαλείσθε να ενημερώσετε τους φοιτητές σας που επιθυμούν να λάβουν μέρος στο προσεχές FENS Forum 2024 να υποβάλλουν την αίτηση για να γίνουν μέλη στην ΕΕΝ (https://www.hsfn.gr/about/join/) το αργότερο μέχρι τη 10η Δεκεμβρίου 2023 προκειμένου να μπορούν να ολοκληρωθούν οι διαδικασίες μέχρι το τέλος του έτους.
