Steering Group

The UCL Neuroscience Domain Steering Group promotes, coordinates and develops activities to enable new research, improve communication and facilitate career development for our neuroscience community.

The Steering Group generally promotes and/or undertake any activities that it considers to be of strategic importance and in the best interests of the whole neuroscience community at UCL whilst also being responsive to the needs of individuals and groups.

The Steering Group reports directly to the UCL Vice-Provost (Health) and serves as an autonomous but not an executive body; i.e. its activities are not directed by senior management, and it does not direct the strategies or running of Centres, Departments or Institutes.

Membership is broadly representative and through the establishment of working groups for specific tasks and discussion forums, it will seek to ensure the involvement of neuroscientists from across the community.

It receives seed-funding from UCL but also raises funds from external sources for specific events and to advance initiatives from the UCL Neuroscience community.
