Neuroscience Summer School
(2-day, interdisciplinary, student-designed event)
Overview
The Neuroscience Summer School is a two-day, student-led event. Each year a student committee selects a current and clinically relevant translational theme and invites the speakers—so the program stays up to date and is impactful. Recent themes include Neuroimaging (2025), Brain & Psychedelics (2024), and Brain & Obesity (2023). The course blends short lectures, hands-on workshops, and outdoor activities to encourage networking across fields.
What you’ll do
- Work in interdisciplinary teams (basic neuroscience, psychiatry, neurology, neurosurgery) on tasks such as designing a research project or preparing panel questions.
- Join interactive lectures and Q&A with experts invited by the students.
- Build your network at informal evening socials.
Why join
- Deepen your understanding of the year’s theme—current and clinically relevant methods, questions, and pitfalls in translational neuroscience.
- Meet peers and mentors—start your scientific network early.
