21 June, 2013 - UCL Neuroscience Symposium

Time: -

Organised by UCL Neuroscience

Registration for the 2013 UCL Neuroscience Symposium is now open. The Symposium will take place on Friday 21 June at the Institute of Education. The day will begin at 9am and close with a wine reception at 5pm. The programme is in development and speakers will be announced on the UCL Neuroscience domain website in the near future. This year we are keen to see more lab posters presented at the Symposium, as well as project-specific posters. Lab posters and project-specific posters will also be incorporated into an ECN Networking event. This event will allow post-docs to showcase their research and to foster links with other researchers across the university.
