2nd School of Neuroscience:
Unveiling Molecular Basis of Brain Diseases

13-17 April 2026

The second edition of this Neuroscience School, which was formerly supported by the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS), aims at improving the scientific training of PhD students in neuroscience and young neuroscientists. 

This springer school will involve internationally recognized neuroscientists as teachers and will give the participants the opportunity to face several different Neuroscience fields with a focus on stress-related diseases and to innovative methodological approaches for the study of neuronal function. During the school, the young researcher will be involved in training activities aimed at developing their soft and professional skills. One of the school’s main goals will be to stimulate interaction among students to promote their scientific growth and new collaborations.
