NEURONUS 2012, IBRO & IRUN Neuroscience Forum - Poland

It is our pleasure to invite you to NEURONUS 2012, IBRO & IRUN Neuroscience Forum to be held in Krakow (Poland) on April 20-22, 2012.
So far, four editions of two separate neuroscientific events have been annually organized at the Jagiellonian University in Krakow: the Students’ Neuroconference was organized by the NEURONUS Students’ Society and was mostly devoted to the molecular and biological neuroscience, while Krakow Workshop on Psychophysiology, organized by the Institute of Psychology, was focused primarily on the cognitive neuroscience. As some topics were common for both conferences, we have decided to co-organize one event as the 2012 edition of our previous conferences.
Our main goal is to create the opportunity to share the neuroscientific knowledge from related subdisciplines and, specifically, to establish contacts between experienced scientists and young researchers. We strongly believe that these changes will give rise to the big annual IBRO & IRUN-featured event, truly unique in Poland and on the Eastern European scale.
We can undoubtedly feel experienced with organizing successful conferences on the international scale. During the previous meetings we had an occasion to host some acknowledged scientists: Frank Pfrieger (Institute of Cellular and Integrative Neurosciences, Strasbourg), Stefan Pulver (Cambridge University), Richard Frackowiak (Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Vaudois, Lausanne), Johannes Letzkus (FMI for Biomedical Research, Basel), Adrian Owen (Cambridge University), Alfons Hamm (University of Greifswald), Rolf Verleger (University of Lübeck), Rob van der Lubbe (University of Twente), Piotr Winkielman (University of California), and not to mention a strong representation of the Radboud University in Nijmegen (the Netherlands), with Anton Coenen and Gilles van Luijtelaar.
To summarize our annual meetings, last year we were invited to publish a set of scientific papers in one of the most relevant journals in the field, International Journal of Psychophysiology. “Basic and applied electrophysiology" special issue is expected to be successfully accomplished until the end of 2011. The opportunity to publish full papers in a peer-reviewed journal can undoubtedly reflect the quality of the so-far conference presentations.
On behalf of the Organizing Committee we eagerly await to welcome you in Krakow and wish you an inspiring tim

BIT’s NeuroTalk-2012 - Beijing, China

BIT’s NeuroTalk-2012 will be held during May 18-20 in Beijing, China. It is a dedicated event for neuroscientists from all over the world.

NeuroTalk-2012 is designed to provide a strong platform for professionals from both academic and industrial sections to exchange experience and knowledge. Neurologists, neuropathologists, neurosurgeons, neurooncologists, neuroscientists and researchers in all fields of neuroscience from China and beyond will be invited to speak on a variety of topics including basic neuroscience, CNS, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Drug Discovery, novel technology and device for Diagnostics and Therapeutics, and Business Development in Neuroscience Industries. Participants will include local and overseas medical professionals and delegates from leading biopharmaceutical companies across the world.

Initiated in 2010, NeuroTalk never stops her momentum to catch the emerging advances in neuroscience research. NeuroTalk-2011 was successfully held during May 18-20 in Dalian, China by attracting more than 300 experts from home and abroad. We will build on the success of that conference. NeuroTalk-2012 consists of 10 main tracks, panel discussions, poster presentations, and Exhibition booths that will cover all the main aspects of neuroscience and will give you the opportunity to be discuss developments in all the areas of the neurological sciences.

Netherlands 2012: NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference, Rotterdam

We are happy to announce that submissions are now open for the 2012 NeuroPsychoEconomics Conference in
Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The conference will be held from June 14-15, 2012 at the Rotterdam School of
Management, Erasmus University (Woudestein Campus, Burgemeester Oudlaan 50, 3062 PA Rotterdam, The
Netherlands). Conference co-chairs are Ale Smidts, Professor of Marketing Research at the Rotterdam School of
Management and Alan Sanfey, Principal Investigator in Decision Neuroscience at the Donders Institute for
Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University Nijmegen. The deadline for submissions is March 1,
2012.
The conference theme of 2012 is:
“Integrating Neuroscience with Research
in Economics, Management, and Marketing”
Manuscripts should combine concepts from neuroscience and/or psychology with problems of economics and
management/marketing. Topics may include (but are not restricted to):
• Application of concepts and methods from neuroscience and/or psychology in solving economic and
management/marketing problems (e.g., consumer decision-making, behavioral finance, organizational science,
management, and decision science)
• Analysis of interpersonal behavior (e.g., relationships between customer-supplier, supervisor-subordinate,
and/or investor-firm) with the means of neuroscience and/or psychology
• Discussion of ethical and legal issues at the interface of psychology, neuroscience, and business and
economics research
• Evaluation of the state of the field of research in neuroeconomics/decision neuroscience/consumer
neuroscience
• Presentation of state-of-the-art techniques for investigating neuroeconomic problems (e.g., fMRI, DTI,
EEG/ERP, SCR)
Both empirical and conceptual manuscripts are welcome. The conference language will be English.
Pre-Conference
A pre-conference on ‘Advances in Neuroscientific Methods’ will be held on June 14, 2012 (attendance is free
for conference participants). This tutorial will offer lectures on fMRI, genetics, endocrinology, and TMS by

Germany 2012 - EMBO Conference: C.elegans Neurobiology, Heidelberg

Research on C.elegans plays an influential role across biology and has been at the forefront of genetics. Genetic analyses in C.elegans have led to advances in understanding many processes conserved throughout the animal kingdom, including establishment of cell polarity, developmental patterning, cell death, RNA interference, ageing, axon pathfinding, neuronal signaling and many others. Evidence of the impact of C.elegans research is the award of three Nobel prizes and a Lasker Award.

Two types of meetings focus on C.elegans research. The International C.elegans meeting, organised once every two years in the USA, covers all aspects of C.elegans research. The large size (over 2000 attendees) and diversity of the International meeting does not allow easy discussion or interactions among groups who share interest in particular research areas. To fill this gap, C.elegans “Topic meetings” are held in alternate years with the International meetings. These are focused meetings on particular aspects of C.elegans biology. Topic meetings provide a vibrant and exciting arena for discussion of current research, and the sharing of new ideas, methods, and reagents.

Each platform session will focus on one area and begin with a Keynote speaker recognized in that area. The remainder of the meeting programme will consist of talks chosen from submitted abstracts, giving students and post-docs opportunities to speak. In the past, competition for talks has been high, giving rise to a very high quality programme.
