Lyon-Grenoble "Rendez-vous" des Neurosciences - 21-24 mai 2013
Lyon-Grenoble, ’rendez-vous’ des Neurosciences
21- 24 mai 2013
The French Society for Neuroscience is pleased to invite you to its 11th biennial meeting, to be held in Lyon from May 21 to 24, 2013. This meeting is organized in partnership with the German Neuroscience Society and co-organized by the Neuroscience communities of Lyon and Grenoble. With 10 plenary lectures, 18 symposia and more than 700 poster presentations, all presented in English, this meeting will bring together more than a thousand
participants. Moreover, the partnership with our German colleagues still increases the wide and highly international spectrum of the science to be discussed at the meeting.
In addition, this will be an opportunity for you to discover the Rhône-Alpes area, which, with its two flagship cities and historic sites part of the Unesco World Heritage List, is one of the most dynamic and attractive regions in our country.
The creation of two neuroscience research centres, in Grenoble in 2007, and in Lyon in 2011, illustrates the formidable potential of our region in the field of neuroscience. This organization in centres with complementary and synergistic research orientations, together with the forces of our cognitive scientist, physicist and mathematician colleagues, whose collaboration with is essential, has proven to be very beneficial and productive.
The Rhône-Alpes region gathers a community of about 1000 people working on all aspects of brain functions, from the molecular to the integrative and cognitive levels, and from fundamental to clinically relevant aspects.
In collaboration with major university hospitals, Lyon and Grenoble training and research laboratories in neuroscience have developed a long tradition of multidisciplinary and translational research based on a fifty-year history of successful cooperation between clinical neurology, brain physiology, neuroimaging and cognitive neuroscience.
Obviously, inviting you to Lyon without mentioning the French gastronomy would be unforgivable. Therefore, be prepared for some culinary surprise … worthy of the reputation of Lyon, of course!
We look forward to seeing you in Lyon in May 2013!
