CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme Special Interest Event @ FRM 2021
25 August 2021 - 4:00-4:45 pm CEST
The CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme aims to teach basic and fundamental neuroscience concepts as well as state-of-the-art techniques, data analysis and computer skills to train the next generation of top-notch neuroscientists.
During this event held at the virtual FENS Regional Meeting 2021, Prof Eero Castrén (Cajal President) and Dr Elena Dreosti (Cajal Executive Director) will present the training course programme that CAJAL offers and provide an overview of how students can benefit from attending CAJAL courses online and in person. This will be followed by presentations by course and venue directors and alumni who will share their CAJAL course experience. A Q&A will conclude the session.
If you have questions about CAJAL courses and NeuroKits, this is the moment to ask them! Join us at 4 pm CEST on 25th August.
