GoingToMeet

FENS and the local host society of Switzerland are actively engaged in the preparation of the 6th FENS Forum of European Neuroscience to be held in Geneva on July 12- 16, 2008. A new Programme Committee will be appointed during the FENS Council meeting in December 2006.
The scientific programme will consist of plenary lectures, symposia, technical workshops and poster presentations. The symposia and technical workshops will be selected on the basis of proposals made by individual scientists.

SYMPOSIUM AND TECHNICAL WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

Symposia
They will last 1 hour 30 minutes with 4 speakers and must address scientific issues around a coherent theme of interest to a broad audience (see guidelines).

Technical workshops
They are meant to discuss technical advances in various fields of research, with the emphasis on techniques, not on scientific results. They may last around 3 hours and include up to 6 speakers (see guidelines).

Proposals will be submitted through the Internet. They must be original, reflecting the latest developments of research in the field of interest. At the same time, each proposal should represent different aspects of its scientific topic and take into account the geographical diversity of the laboratories engaged in the particular research.
