The European Brain and Behaviour Society (EBBS) and the European Behavioural Pharmacology Society (EBPS) are honoured to announce the co-organization of a Mini Conference at the 2024 FENS Forum in Vienna, Austria.

“Understanding the Neuronal Mechanisms Driving Behaviour, from Molecular and Cellular Processes to Complex System Interactions”

25 June 2024, 10:00 - 14:00

Participation is FREE for members of EBBS and/or EBPS but, for logistic purposes, you must sign up to attend this event.

If you are not a member of either society, please apply for membership before signing up, here (EBBS) or here (EBPS).

Our mini conference will be an exciting event bringing together established leaders and early career researchers from the behavioural neuroscience community for a day of amazing science and networking opportunities.

The overarching theme of the 2024 mini conference will be Understanding Neuronal Mechanisms Driving Behaviour. Each society has invited representative members from multiple career stages to speak about their research. Speakers will present research focused on elucidating the intricate neural processes that underlie behaviour, spanning from the molecular and cellular levels to broader systems interactions. Cutting-edge behavioural and neuroscience techniques that provide deeper insights into the emergence of complex behaviours will be highlighted. Each session will end with a Q&A.
