Workshop in Integrative Approaches in Neurodegeneration
The Workshop in Integrative Approaches in Neurodegeneration is organized in the frame of the FlySMALS consortium, funded by the 2013 JPND Transnational call for “European research projects for Cross-Disease Analysis of Pathways related to Neurodegenerative Diseases”, which come to an end this year. The workshop aims to disseminate and integrate the results of the research consortium with state-of-the-art research in the field, promoting the joint presentation and discussion of relevant research topics by a panel of international experts, including members of other consortia funded through the same JPND call.
The program targets a broad audience of basic, experimental, computational and clinical scientists, in the spirit of the JNPD Cross-Disease Analysis call, aiming to:
promote the analysis of diseases across traditional clinical boundaries
combine fundamental, pre-clinical and clinical experimental approaches with computational approaches
re-define clinical phenotypes and new approaches in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases
identify commonalities and differences molecular pathways underlying neurodegenerative diseases.
The workshop will bring together 20 invited speakers and 50 registered participants, providing an ideal environment for dynamic interactions promoting the exchange of expertise across areas, supporting the conceptual development of novel integrative research approaches that will contribute to the future progress in neurodegenerative disease research. Participants will be able to present their work at a poster section and through short talks from selected abstracts.
Join us in the wonderful city of Lisbon for an exciting inter-disciplinary program at the forefront of neurodegenerative disease research.

robotics approaches) to decision making.
The symposium will be a single-track, will last for 3 days and will include 6 sessions:
« Learning about the structure of the world to make decisions » (Chair: Chris
Summerfield) ;
« Constructing and deconstructing subjective value » (Chair: Lesley Fellows) ;
« The neuroscience of moral decision-making » (Chair: Miriam Teschl) ;
« Decision-making across cultures and species » (Chair: TBD) ;
« Dealing with uncertainty: exploration and curiosity » (Chair: TBD) ;
« Development and decision-making » (Chair: TBD) ;

6th conference of the Association for Research in Neuroeducation
The 6th conference of the Association for Research in Neuroeducation will be held on June 6-8, 2018, at the Sorbonne in Paris, France, and organized by the Laboratory for the Psychology of the Child Development and Education (LaPsyDÉ) at the CNRS and the Paris Descartes University. The first day will consist of general public conferences (in French only) around the topic of « Neuroeducation: a new science for school? », and will aim to share and discuss the latest progress in the field of neuroeducation with students, teachers and other experts in education. The goal of this day will be to strengthen the links between the members of the educational community by facilitating the exchange of ideas and expertise and the dialog between the lab and the school. In addition to conferences given by several researchers in developmental psychology, education sciences and developmental cognitive neuroscience, round table sessions will allow to reflect on the future school.
The scientific symposium will be held over the following two days (Day 2 and 3), and will aim at presenting the findings of researchers who manage to reconcile the constraints of the cognitive neuroscience techniques with the investigation of questions in the field of education at school and at the university. Our keynote speaker will be Bert de Smedt, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KUL).
For the scientific symposium, we welcome oral presentations submissions and poster submissions from researchers and students working in developmental psychology, education sciences and developmental neuroscience.
The online abstract submission is open until February 28th, 2018.
Abstracts should not exceed 300 words in length. The full abstract will be reviewed by the conference scientific committee and the result of this review will be communicated on March 28th, 2018.

Neuroscience 2018 offers Travel Awards to enthusiastic leading non-Japanese neuroscientists traveling from abroad to present high quality papers at the meeting. Applications of young principal investigators and senior postdoctoral fellows are especially encouraged. The funding for travel will be between 40,000-150,000 JPY per award depending on the travel distance. The awardees will also be exempt from the registration fee of the meeting. Those from Asian-Pacific countries are particularly encouraged.
Please be advised that persons from the following countries must apply for the Travel Award through their home Neuroscience Affiliations: China, South Korea, India, and Iran.
– The Japan Neuroscience Society (JNS) was founded in 1974. Since then, the membership has increased steadily. With more than 6,300 members in 2017, JNS is now a representative academic society in neuroscience in Japan.
– Neuroscience 2018 under the theme of “New Horizon of Neuroscience” provides a unique opportunity to forge closer links between researchers in different fields and to develop next-generation neuroscientists endowed with a wide perspective.
– Top international and domestic researchers will take this as an opportunity to elucidate the mechanisms of the brain and mind through promotion of a wide range of neuroscience research fields, across clinical medicine and psychology, and to the molecular and cellular biological levels.
– We will also focus our efforts on promoting interaction with relevant professional neuroscience societies in neighboring Asia-Pacific countries, the United States and Europe by organizing joint symposia and providing a financial assistance program to cover travel costs.
– All travel award winners are invited to the International Exchange Meeting for Young Researchers and a get-together party to be held on July 25th, 2018 to facilitate interaction among young researchers from abroad and Japan. In addition, they will be invited to a reception on DAY 2 of the Annual Meeting.
– The Annual Meeting aims at fostering young scientists and promoting collaboration across the globe and various scientific fields including clinical neuroscience. We expect approximately 4,000 participants, including 400 people from overseas.
– The Meeting will be held at Kobe Convention Center, Hyogo.
