Conference of Junior Neuroscientists (NeNa)

NeNa (Neurowissenschaftliche Nachwuchskonferenz) is an annual event organized by doctoral students from neuroscience research groups in Tübingen. NeNa serves as an opportunity for young neuroscientists to meet and discuss their research projects with peers. Attendees are invited from all faculties and departments at which neuroscience is a subdiscipline, including molecular biology, biology, chemistry, physics, psychology, medicine and computer science. Thereby, exchange between those fields of research is fostered and participants get the opportunity to discuss their project with scientists with different backgrounds.
