JANUBET Symposium “Tools and the Study of Brain Systems: New Vistas!”
We will hold the JANUBET Symposium, ‘Tools and the study of brain systems: New Vistas!’ on 20 – 22 September 2022.
This is the final activity organized as part of an international collaboration between Tohoku University, Kyoto University, and NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology. The aim of this collaboration, funded by the Norwegian Research Council, was to promote scientific and educational exchange for young neuroscience trainees and to develop a lasting educational exchange for our students.
For the final symposium have blended a series of presentations by excellent scientists with poster sessions by our junior scientists/students and other selected participants. Join us for this unique event in the unique settings offered by the host, Kyoto University.
