TRAVEL STIPENDS – Call for Applications

12th Annual Meeting of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies

Dear Colleagues,

The 12th FENS Forum 2020 will be taking place in Glasgow on 11 - 15 July 2020. With the generous support of a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism of the National Institutes of Health USA, the International Behavioural and Neural Genetics Society (IBANGS) has established a travel award of $500 to assist trainees hoping to attend FENS in order to encourage and promote the mobility of young scientists. This award offers an opportunity for trainees to participate in an outstanding scientific meeting that covers basic, translational and clinical neuroscience research while interacting with researchers and scientists from around the world.
