Mediterranean Neuroscience Society (MNS)
The Mediterranean Neuroscience Society (MNS) works towards three main objectives:
First, strengthen exchanges between mediterranean neuroscientists;
Second, promote education in the neurosciences and increase public awareness of progress made;
Third, sustain scientific, training and networking events, such as, in particular, the biennial Mediterranean Neuroscience Conference.
Status: Associate Member Society
President: Christina Dalla
The MNS is created to support and help strengthen existing and new projects that bring together neuroscientists from all shores of the Mediterranean:
by offering travel stipends and prizes to young scientists, especially from the southern areas of the Mediterranean;
by actively organising events dedicated to north-south networking and scientific exchange, as well as advanced student training;
by enhancing the visibility of north-south collaborations and projects, spotlighting them in “bottom-up” contributed symposia during the MNS conference or in satellite events;
by providing an efficient interface and access to larger societies such as IBRO and FENS.
