International Brain Research Organization (IBRO) in Collaboration with Atma Jaya Neuroscience and Cognitive Centre (ANCC) & School of Medicine, Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia presents IBRO COURSE IN NEUROSCIENCE


IBRO is the global federation of neuroscience organisations that aims to promote and support neuroscience training, teaching, collaborative research and advocacy around the world. More than 80 international, national and regional scientific organisations constitute IBRO‘s Governing Council which, together with the five IBRO Regional Committees, address the needs and advance the work of individual scientists and research communities everywhere. In addition, IBRO has partnerships with like-minded scientific societies and organisations to identify priorities and help bridge gaps in knowledge, investment and resources in the field of brain research. Over the years, IBRO has set up a number of programs to stimulate international contacts in brain research and promote public awareness of the brain.


This course will be given over nine days by international speakers. It will include about 35 lectures covering various topics in basic neuroscience, which will include structural, biophysical, biochemical, and pharmacological approach. Each lecturer will also lead daily small group discussion on topics covered in the lectures and daily tutorials on how to prepare a 10 minutes talk for international research conference.

 

On the last day, those students wishing to do so are welcome to give 10 minutes talks on progress in their own research or on research they plan to do so. There will also be formal discussions about studentships and postdoctoral opportunities in Europe and North America.

 

This course is fully funded and open to young researchers and graduate students in biomedical sciences, medical students, medical residents, junior faculty members and advanced undergraduate students. This course also welcomes interested students from mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science background.

 

Due to the limited seats the applicants will be selected. All selected applicants are obligated to complete the 9-days course.
