25e Rencontres en Toxinologie (RT25) de la Société Française d’Etude des Toxines
The 25th Meeting (RT25) of the French Society of Toxinology (SFET) will focus on a theme at the heart of the current research in toxinology: “Toxins and health : from molecules to organisms”.
We invite you to attend the meeting, or better: present your results as an oral communication or a poster.
13th Göttingen Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society 2019
Deadline for Late Posters:
November 30, 2018
We all look back to a record breaking FENS Forum 2018, and we hope that your society’s members have enjoyed their stay in Berlin.
The next, although smaller event is already under construction: the 13th Göttingen Meeting of the German Neuroscience Society 2019 (March 20 – 23). This neuroscience meeting with more than 1,500 participants is one of the largest in Europe, with a worldwide participation.
Although the deadline for early registration has passed, we exceptionally accept late poster submissions until November 30, 2018. The number of poster submission for 2019 has slightly decreased compared to former years which might be an effect of the FENS Forum. Many of the 1,933 participants from Germany have presented their findings there and may not have enough new data for a new poster. Therefore, there is still some space for posters which we would like to offer to the members of the Societé des Neurosciences to submit late posters. The option of applying for a students’ oral presentation is no longer available.
As FENS members, your society’s members can register at the members rate, i.e. 85 Euro for students and 140 Euro for seniors. Registration fee includes coffee breaks and cold buffets in the evening.
You will find the scientific program and more information at the meeting’s website
Sincerely,
Prof. Dr. Eckhard Friauf
President German Neuroscience Society
FENS Regional Meeting 2019

Jointly organized by the Neuroscience Societies of Serbia, Romania and Turkey,
the FRM 2019 will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, from 10 to 13 July 2019
It is our great pleasure to announce that the next FENS Regional Meeting, FRM2019, will be in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. The meeting will be jointly organised by the Neuroscience Societies of Serbia, Romania and Turkey.
These three societies come together for the first time with the aim of boosting the development of neuroscience in the entire region by organising a meeting with an exciting programme reflecting the latest discoveries and technological developments.
The last FENS regional meeting was held in Pécs, Hungary, 20-23 September 2017 and organised by the Hungarian Neuroscience Society. Its excellent mix of scientific, social and outreach events attracted nearly 900 participants.
FENS Regional Meetings are national or regional scientific meetings organised by FENS member societies with strong FENS support. FRMs are biennial meetings and alternate with the FENS Forums.
Deadline for abstract submission and early registration extension – 1 May 2019
