In addition to its role as center of excellence in neuroscience research, the Institute aims to promote science to the general public. Every year the Institute organises several science dissemination activities.
Furthermore, the Institute fosters a strong educational mission. As a part of this mission, the Institute is dedicated to bringing national and international experts in neuroscience to share their experiences at the University of Barcelona, in the framework of the Neuroscience Conference Series.
The Neuroscience Conference Series (NSC 2018), organised by the Institute of Neurosciences, is a great opportunity to meet international distinguished neuroscientists, who will present the latest advancements in their respective field of research. This year’s edition include speakers such as Salvador Martínez, MD, PhD, (Instituto de Neurociencias de Alicante, UMH-CSIC), Jose A. Esteban, PhD, (Centro de Biología Molecular Severo Ochoa- CSIC-Universidad Autónoma de Madrid), Konstantina Kilteni, PhD (Karolinska Institutet), Jaap Denissen, PhD (Tilburg University), Santiago Rivera, PhD (CNRS – Aix-Marseille Univ), Simone Di Giovanni, PhD (Imperial Collegue London).
NeuroArt is a science communication project organised by the Institute of Neurosciences. The aim of this project is to inspire young students to create works of art based on the nervous system (structure, function or plasticity).
