BNA2021: Submit your proposals now! - Extended until April 22nd!BNA2021: SUBMIT YOUR PROPOSALS AND MAKE THE FESTIVAL YOUR OWN15th Jan 2020 The call for sessions for the 2021 Festival of Neuroscience is now open. Don't miss out on being part of the largest neursocience event of its kind across Europe in 2021: submit your proposals for symposia and workshops and make the Festival your own! In April 2021, in partnership with the UK Dementia Research Institute, the British Neuroscience Association will host its fifth Festival of Neuroscience, this time taking neuroscience to the seaside in Brighton, UK. The ambition and scope of the BNA Festivals make them unparalleled across neuroscience. There are two aspects of the Festivals which make them unique:
How to be part of the BNA2021 scientific programmeWhat topics, speakers, research and techniques do you want featured at BNA2021? What did you feel was missing from last time? By submitting proposals you will help shape the content of the 2021 Festival of Neuroscience. There are two options for having a session in the scientific programme: Symposia Each symposium covers a specific area of neuroscience research. A symposium is 100 minutes in length and consists of four talks; each talk is therefore usually 20-25 minutes long. However, the time can be divided up differently, e.g. four 15-20 minute talks followed by 20 minute panel discussion. Two of the speakers should co-chair the session. There is space for 30-36 symposia in the Festival programme Workshops Workshops should focus on topics of wide interest (e.g. policy, careers, funding, grant-writing, publishing, reproducibility, short courses, neuroethics etc.) Each workshop is 100 minutes in length. Their format can include presentations, panel Q&A, small group discussion, worked examples, or other formats. Workshop organisers can also provide materials to attendees prior to the session. There are usually 3-5 workshops in the Festival Programme. Deadline for submissions = 22nd April 2020 *All symposia need to meet the guidelines and be reviewed by the Programme Organising Committee before being accepted into the programme.
