41st Annual Meeting of Japan Neuroscience Society (Neuroscience 2018)-Call for Travel Award Application
The 41st Annual Meeting of Japan Neuroscience Society (Neuroscience 2018) will be held at Kobe Convention Center in Hyogo, Japan, from July 26th to 29th, 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.
Application deadline: January 9th, 2018.
24e Rencontres en Toxinologie (RT24) de la Société Française d’Etude des Toxines (SFET)
The 24th Meeting (RT24) of the French Society of Toxinology (SFET)
will focus on a theme at the heart of the current research in toxinology: “Toxins: Biodiversity, Environment and Evolution ».
We hope that many of you will join us for this Meeting, to be held on December 7-8, 2017 at the Pasteur Institute in Paris.
We also invite you to present your results, as an oral communication or a poster.

Neurofluidics: Neuroscience & Microfluidics
Neurofluidics is a unique conference at the frontiers of Neuroscience, Computational neuroscience, Microfluidics and Microtechnologies.
The format is a two days conference with speakers from each community and open debates. The purpose is to present the latest available technologies and to share their potential applications in neuroscience.
All participants are invited to submit an abstract for oral or poster presentation. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to write a full paper for consideration in a special issue of IET Nanobiotechnology (subject to peer review).
Registration is mandatory until November 13th and fees to be due until the conference opens.

Proteinopathies and Neurodegenerative Disorders (NDD) Symposium
The symposium is organized by 4 institutions – Tech Transfer Consortium (CVT) of AVIESAN, ITMO NNP, PMND and ARIIS – which are highly involved in emerging scientific and medical aspects of this hot topic.
The symposium aims to provide a unique opportunity to bring together leading scientists, clinicians and companies interested in proteinopathies to discuss the latest discoveries and developments of its application in neurodegenerative disorders.
There is a limited number of seats and on-line registration is required. Seats will be granted on a “first come, first served” basis. Do not wait to register!
Join the NDD SYMPOSIUM, and get the great opportunity to exchange, learn, interact and network with colleagues from all over the world!

Les maladies de la vision: origines et traitements
A l’occasion de la Journée Mondiale pour la Vue du 12 octobre 2017 et dans le cadre d’un partenariat entre l’UNADEV et Aviesan (Alliance nationale pour les sciences de la vie et de la santé) pour soutenir la recherche dans le domaine de la vision, l’UNADEV et l’Institut Thématique Multi-Organisme Neurosciences, sciences cognitives, neurologie, psychiatrie organisent un colloque :
« Les maladies de la vision: origines et traitements »
Au cours de ce colloque, seront présentés les résultats obtenus par plusieurs équipes lauréates de projets de recherche financés en 2015 et 2016.
En 2015, l’association UNADEV (Union Nationale des Aveugles et Déficients Visuels) a signé un partenariat avec Aviesan/ ITMO Neurosciences, sciences cognitives, neurologie, psychiatrie pour une durée de 5 ans afin de soutenir la recherche dans le domaine de la vision. Ce colloque s’adresse à tout public intéressé par les maladies de la vision : acteurs de la recherche, patients, membres d’association…

IMMUNE CELLS AND THE CNS
ISN satellite meeting on immune cells and the CNS seeks to gather scientists interested in the impact of immune cells during development of the CNS and over the course of neurological diseases. The involvement of immune cells is at the source of fine developmental modeling of the brain and the trigger of the autoimmune disease Multiple Sclerosis but they also actively contribute to the evolution of chronic neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. The development of high throughput screening of genes and RNA, opens new opportunities for discoveries of interactions between specific neuroimmune pathways linked to development or implicated in neurological diseases.
The satellite meeting will consist of the five following symposia:
(1) Genetic studies unravels immune cell implication in neurological diseases,
(2) Microglial cells activation states,
(3) From injury to repair, role of immune cells,
(4) When immunity takes part in neurodegeneration
(5) Challenges of human microglial cells
Each symposium will consist of two 30 minute presentations from established scientists followed by three 15 minute talks from young investigators, selected on their abstract. Poster presentations during the two evenings and a free afternoon with a visit to the nearby Fontainebleau castle will increase the opportunities for scientific interactions.
With this satellite meeting we intend to bring together scientists working with different technological approaches on different topics: development, autoimmune or neurodegenerative diseases for their common interest of neuroimmunology and with this program, to attract a hundred scientists working in this field.
