Last year’s webinar Unfinished Business: Persistent Global Gender Disparities in Neuroscience delved into the underlying causes of the gap. It unequivocally demonstrated the existence of the glass ceiling in academia across the world and underscored the urgent need for proactive measures to shatter it.
This upcoming session will shift its focus to actionable steps and programs designed to promote gender equity. By analysing these case studies and best practices, we aim to provide concrete strategies for addressing systemic challenges and ultimately closing the gender gap in brain research.

The 6th FAM conference will feature 15 world leading experts in human and animal memory who have already RSVP (from USA, Canada, Japan, Norway, UK, Austria and Germany). This event is unique in this it aims at bringing new insights on major controversies in human recognition memory as well as bridging further human and animal memory by integrating findings from computational, molecular, neuroanatomical, electrophysiological and imaging studies using state-of-art technical approaches. Especially, this platform gives the unique opportunity to scientists to integrate data emerging from studies in humans and animals on the same MTL areas that however pertain to different thematic foci in memory research, for example the contribution of the MTL areas to the formation and retrieval of memory, the processing of space and time and how this contribution evolves with age and within the frame of pathologies. An integration of the findings emerging from these different subject areas will allow for a very thorough and more complete picture of the precise contribution of each MTL area to different aspects of memory and the mechanisms underlying these memory processes.
The event is also very ‘students-oriented’, with the organization of a daily ‘students /speakers-only brainstorming session’ lasting for an hour. During these ‘student/speakers –only session’ students have the unique opportunity to meet, in small groups, the speakers of their choice with no other presence than that of their peers to encourage active participation and get a direct feedback from speakers on their own take on memory function.

Outlines should be sent to secretary@ebbs-science.org by midday (GMT) on Monday 20th March 2023, and some outlines may be asked to present to the EBBS committee in the following weeks.
Outlines viewed positively by the committee will then be asked to submit a full proposal for a final decision which will be made during the EBBS meeting in Amsterdam in August.
For further information, please contact secretary@ebbs-science.org.

The European Brain and Behavior Society will be holding its annual general meeting on SATURDAY 9th July from 14:00 in Hall F of the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, Pavillion 7. This is the location of the FENS forum and the AGM will follow shortly after the end of the mini-conference co-organised by EBBS, IBANGS, EBPS, and EMCCS in the same hall (Understanding Behavior: Molecular, Cellular, and systems approaches).
The AGM is open to all EBBS members and will include reports from the President, Secretary, and Treasurer, as well as a chance for members to ask questions about the Society's plans.
We invite nominations for candidates (who should be members of EBBS) to stand for election for the following positions:
Nominations should be made by a member of EBBS and sent by e-mail to the Secretary General, Alex Easton (secretary@ebbs-science.org) no later than May 2, 2022.
We encourage members considering being nominated for President to contact Igor Branchi (president@ebbs-science.org) or Alex Easton (secretary@ebbs-science.org) beforehand to discuss the role.
Nominations should include a short summary of the candidate (about ½ A4 along with a photo if possible). This will be published together with the web-on-line ballots. In accepting nominations, we assume that the candidate has already agreed to stand for election.
The international MMiN meeting, previously known as « In vivo meeting », initially focused on methodological neurochemistry and continues to expand its scope to include all major techniques, such as voltammetry, microdialysis, pharmacology, electrophysiology, imaging, tomography, optogenetics/chemogenetics, and other manipulations of neural networks. MMiN also provides an excellent platform for presentations on emerging techniques that detect and track neuroactive or neurotransmitter-like molecules.
EBBS is offering 5 travel awards (1 for post-docs and 4 for PhD students) to attend our meeting the FENS Forum 2022 in Paris in July.

The European Brain and Behavior Society (EBBS) has extended the deadline for symposium proposals for the 49th EBBS meeting that will take place in Lausanne, 4-7 September 2021.
Symposia Guidelines
The EBBS program committee welcomes excellent symposia that advance our knowledge of the brain and behavior, in health and disease, and using all research approaches.
Excellent proposals covering either a hot topic in the field or a novel topic not represented in previous EBBS meetings will be favoured.
A symposium may be proposed by any established researcher, who did not have a symposium proposal accepted at the EBBS 2019 meeting. Members of the Program committee can neither propose a symposium nor be speakers in a symposium. Proposers of successful symposia would be expected to be or become full members of the EBBS*.
Each symposium will require a chair and four speakers (the chair may be one of the speakers). Preference will be given to proposals that represent diversity (across age, sex, and origin).
Note: We are aware that the current situation with COVID-19 may lead to some uncertainty for speakers at this stage. Alongside our preferred plans for a conference we can all attend in person, we are preparing plans for the meeting to be held virtually or as a hybrid meeting if needed. We hope that symposium proposals can therefore be submitted with confidence.
Please complete the EBBS symposium proposal form on the conference website (https://www.ebbs2021.org/call-for-symposium-proposals/) by October 12th 2020.
Any questions please email secretary@ebbs-science.org.
