Chaque année, Cognivence, l’association des étudiant·e·s et jeunes chercheur·e·s en sciences cognitives d’Île-de-France, organise le Forum des Sciences Cognitives, un événement de vulgarisation qui se déroule sur une journée. Des chercheur·e·s y donnent des conférences grand public tandis que des laboratoires, entreprises et associations tiennent des stands afin de rendre les sciences cognitives accessibles au plus grand nombre (plus d’informations sur les éditions précédentes).

Cette année le Forum se tiendra à Paris, le dimanche 28 avril 2024 avec pour thème “Aux frontières de la réalité : réalité perçue, imaginée, virtuelle”.

La matinée de cette journée anniversaire sera consacrée à la clinique et aux étiologies organiques du syndrome. Connu en Grande Bretagne depuis 1933, il y a fait l’objet de travaux en psychologie cognitive, dont l’historique sera présenté. L’après-midi, les modèles de recherche aborderont la genèse psycho-cognitive, la reconnaissance individuelle artificielle, les précurseurs de troubles psychiatriques ; et de nouvelles hypothèses sur cet « état délirant chronique nondissociatif» seront proposées.

The International Astrocyte School is aimed at all those who are attracted by the most intriguing hypotheses on the role of astrocytes and other glial cells in brain function and dysfunction and wish to learn how to best approach these problems. The school, with its strategy of disseminating state-of-the-art knowledge, is especially targeted at young scientists beginning their careers in this field, but is also open to senior scientists wishing to refresh their glial background.

Alzheimer Forschung Initiative (AFI), Alzheimer Nederland (AN), and Fondation Vaincre Alzheimer (FVA) are dedicated to helping early career dementia researchers reach their full scientific potential. One of ways we try to help early career dementia researchers is by organizing the European Alzheimer Academy Workshop or EAAW, held in Bertinoro, Italy from 17-21 March 2024.

The European Alzheimer Academy Workshop aims to provide an overview of the latest developments in the Alzheimer’s Disease research field. The workshop is especially targeted at ambitious early career dementia scientists. Over the course of 4 days the participants will hear a collection of talks by prominent Alzheimer’s Disease scientists, combined with daily professional development sessions. In these sessions, the speakers, committee members, and staff will train the participants in skills such as successful grant writing, finding their research niche, and academic mentorship. The workshop will end with a big scientific discussion together with the keynote speakers on the state of Alzheimer’s Disease research and treatment with the arrival of the new anti-amyloid antibodies.

The meeting “Stem Cells in Neuroscience” will be held in Tübingen, Germany, from 11th-13th of March 2024.

The aim of the meeting is to stimulate and expand the interdisciplinary and (inter)national networking of researchers in the neuroscience and stem cell field. Robin Ali (London), Roger Barker (Cambridge), Anna Herland (Stockholm), Florian Merkle (Cambridge), Giorgia Quadrato (Los Angeles), and Marius Wernig (Stanford) will deliver keynote lectures spanning topics from neurodevelopment to neurodegeneration, neurosensory, neuroimmunology, neurovascular and translational neuroscience.

In 2024, the 26th edition of the Brain Awareness Week will be held from March 11 to 17.

The French Neuroscience Society organizes, with the support of its network and partners, the Brain Awareness Week in France.
This international event, created by the Dana Foundation, is organised simultaneously in more than 120 cities in France. It is an opportunity for many researchers to meet the public and share with them the advances of neuroscience research and to learn more about the brain.
