We continue our poster presentations’ exchange program with our partner, the Institute of Neurology (IoN) at UCL, and offer four M&B doctoral students the opportunity to present their posters at the annual Queen Square Symposium in London. The symposium brings together MSc and doctoral students across diverse neuroscience domains, including clinical, cognitive and computational scopes of study. It offers students at the IoN an invaluable opportunity to showcase and discuss their research.

We recognize that some students may lack sufficient results or data to present. If this is the case, we strongly encourage students to nonetheless submit. The results section may be used for instance to predict the potential outcome of your experiments; what you could have done differently; and to reflect on your research.

Please note:
Should there be more than four suitable applications, applications by candidates who were engaged in extracurricular M&B activities (e.g., M&B student representation, Brain Awareness Week, Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften, teaching assignments) will be prioritized.
