The Neuro-SysMed Junior Scientist Symposia

The symposia are part of the Neuro-SysMed Research School in Translational Neuroscience under the subject code NEUROSYSM910, providing 3 ECTS.

The objective of the symposium series is to provide the PhD candidates with valuable skills into oral presentation techniques of own research, as well as dissemination of others research, provide opportunities to engage in scientific discussions, and to take advantage of peer reviews and comments to strengthen the scientific quality of own research and scientific thinking. A main ambition is also to strengthen the scientific networks and to encourage candidates to establish relations to scientists.

The symposia are organized 4 times annually, twice every semester. Each symposium is organized with a keynote lecture initially (45 min), followed by 4 PhD candidates/postdoctoral researchers who present their work (25 min each including the oral presentation and discussion). Subsequently, there are final discussions. The presentations are of own research with special attention to presentation techniques and quality.

Lunch is included!

Sam Anandan is academic responsible for the symposia, and Ida Herdlevær, Bjørn Christian Lundberg and Irene Flønes are coordinators.

Startup of the Neuro-SysMed Junior Scientist Symposia was in January 2023.
