Dear SSN Member, Dear Neuroscientist working in Switzerland

The Annual Meetings of the SSN have been a fixed point of our professional calendars for many years. These meetings are testimony to the irreplacable value of personal interactions in a rapidly developing field of science. Filled with excellent neuroscience, the SSN provides each year the venue for meeting peers, providing and receiving advice on experiments and analysis, and finding out about the newest research labs. This tradition was sadly interrupted last year. In 2022, at a time at which international travel may still be complicated, a national meeting of the Swiss Society for Neuroscience seems ideally suited to restart what we are all longing for: meeting each other in 3D. 

Therefore, on behalf of the SSN Council, I am very happy to announce the

SSN Annual Meeting 2022

taking place on January 29, 2022 at the University of Fribourg!

Please take note of the following points
