The SSN Annual Meeting 2022 takes place on January 29, 2022 in Fribourg. The program features Symposia on technology, fundamental and clinical neuroscience, including presentations given by some of Switzerland’s young and promising neuroscientists. We also will provide ample space and time for poster presentations on neuroscience topics of all disciplines. Last but not least, we are pleased to announce our outstanding keynote speakers are: Dr. Gilles Laurent, MPI, Frankfurt and Dr. Antonio Pisani, Tor Vergata, Rome. We hope to see you all there after the Corona interruption! Participation is free for SSN members. For more info: https://www.swissneuroscience.ch/events/15/

The young SSN’s Early Career Researchers Symposium is planned for January 28, 2022, in Fribourg. I recommend this event to all young members wishing to participate in an interactive scientific symposium sprinkled with insights into career navigation, job and training opportunities.

The SSN cooperates in the Network’s Pilot Project of Mapping Diversity in the Swiss Brain Science Community.

The SSN engages in the discourse on Animal Experimentation. The SSN has contributed to a NeuroView article that will appear in Neuron in the course of the summer. You will find arguments that help you engage in the public debate - contribute to clarify the outstanding importance of animal experimentation for advancing brain health and developing therapies for the many brain disorders.
