Luncheon Discussion : How can we make breakthroughs in neuroscience in next 20 years?

Date&Time:
July 28th (Sun.) 12:00-14:00 *Include lunch box
Room:
Room1 (International Conference Room, Toki Messe)


   
There is a growing concern that Japan is losing its international competitiveness in many fields of science, including neuroscience. In the Luncheon Discussion at the last Annual Meeting, we tried to draw big picture of brain science in Japan by discussing what we should do in the next 10-20 years. We would like to continue this discussion, focusing more on “how” we should achieve the goals, in collaboration with Diversity Promotion Symposia and Young PI Symposia.

Deluxe luncheons will be offered for the first 200 participants in order of web registration. Please apply by below page or we welcome your join without registration.
