Developed by FENS and IBRO-PERC, the ‘Slots in NENS courses’ programme aims to support European and non-European MSc and PhD neuroscience students to broaden their knowledge and acquire international experience by participating in short courses organised by the NENS schools.

Stipends: FENS and IBRO-PERC provide 4 stipends of 750 EUR for Master and/or PhD students interested in attending the yearly awarded NENS courses. Through these stipends FENS and IBRO-PERC aim to encourage and promote international experience of students (students that are currently residing or studying in a NENS selected course are not eligible for a FENS and IBRO-PERC stipend for that specific course).
