NevroNor Conference on New Concepts in Neuroscience

NevroNor is a national program for the promotion of excellence in neuroscience.  Launched in 2006 by the Research Council of Norway, NevroNor strategically aims to foster ground-breaking interdisciplinary research on the brain and nervous system in health and disease.

As a result, opportunities for cross-fertilization and integration of ideas across the neurosciences are few and far between. 

 NevroNor is therefore pleased to announce a special conference, “New Concepts in Neuroscience”, to be held on May 26-28, 2010 in Bergen, Norway.  By bringing together leading scientists on a broad range of topics across basic, cognitive, and translational neuroscience, this conference hopes to be a vehicle for discovery and a source of inspiration.   

The conference will coincide with Bergen “Festspillene”, a renowned international festival for the performing arts held only a 5 minute walk from the meeting venue.
