Announcing the 2014 MQ Fellows Programme
New funding opportunity
MQ is pleased to announce our 2014 MQ Fellows Programme. The Programme aims to support the most promising early career scientists and clinicians who are asking challenging questions that will contribute to transformative advances in mental health research. MQ is seeking the best and brightest researchers, who are newly independent or finalising their transition to independence. The Programme is open to Applicants from all scientific disciplines and around the world.
We are now calling for applications, which will be reviewed by our MQ Fellows Committee. The deadline is 24th April 2014. This year, the application process has 2 stages, and the initial stage is a Letter of Intent.

and for information about how to apply click here:
http://www.joinmq.org/research/pages/apply
Applicants:
- Can be from any country.
- Can be from any scientific discipline, including basic scientists, clinically qualified researchers and social science researchers.
- Must be early career researchers with a PhD, MD or equivalent.
- Must have recently established their own independent research career or be about to become independent.
MQ is a UK-based charity focused on identifying and funding research key to solving global issues in mental health. With start-up funding provided by the Wellcome Trust, we aim to harness the power of a community of researchers, doctors, service users, families, advocates and funders to achieve this goal.

Applications Open for the 8th Canadian IBRO School of Neuroscience
USCRC: 8th Canadian IBRO School of Neuroscience on Development and Plasticity
Montreal, Canada
May 13 – 30, 2014
Deadline: January 31, 2014 (23:59 CET)
Aims and scope:
IBRO-USCRC is pleased to offer an advanced neuroscience course for 12 to 14 IBRO Alumni and other young investigators residing in Africa and Latin America. The students will participate in interactive sessions on current topics of neuroscience. These interactive sessions, coordinated by Dr. Ellis Cooper, will include lectures, discussions and visits to laboratories related to the theme of the School.
The material will cover the basic science of development and plasticity of the nervous system. There will be demonstrations of relevant experimental approaches, including functional imaging. In addition, there will be group discussions with experts on specific issues related to developing countries such as relevant diseases and practical issues related to conducting research in low resource settings, as well as sessions on career advancement, preparing manuscripts and grant applications.
A special feature of this School will be its integration with the 8th Annual Canadian Neuroscience Meeting (May 25-28, 2014). All students enrolled in this School will be full participants at these meetings, presenting their own work on a poster, attending scientific sessions, and participating in interactive sessions with selected speakers.
Who should apply?
Priority will be given to doctoral, postdoctoral students, young physicians doing fellowship and/or clinical research and young faculty members residing in Africa and Latin America who are likely to transfer the knowledge gained in the school to their research, particularly in the area of pain. IBRO Alumni are encouraged to apply.
The applicants should be fluent in English (written/spoken), have a degree in basic or clinical sciences, and be involved in neuroscience research. Students will be chosen based on their academic record and their potential for leadership in the scientific community of their home country. The criteria include academic achievements, publications, letters of reference, and in particular, the statement of how this School will benefit the applicant’s own research career.
Students selected to attend the School will have their travel and living expenses (housing and meals) covered by the School. Visas and other immigration arrangements are the responsibility of the student.
Educational Objectives:
- To help understand basic mechanisms related to development and plasticity of the nervous system, implications of understanding of basic mechanisms on disorders and their implications for therapy.
- To present and discuss the students’ own research.
- To foster long-lasting links with some of Canada’s top neuroscientists and institutions.
- To forge new contacts between investigators in Canada, Africa, and Latin America.

Dear Colleague:
As the largest Neuroscience Meeting in Europe, the FENS Forum has grown to be a highly prioritized event among international researchers from across the globe. The past FENS Forum attracted almost 7.000 delegates and the upcoming FENS Forum in Milan is expected to even exceed this number!
The scientific program offers state of the art neuroscience with 56 symposia, 9 plenary lectures, 8 special lectures, several special events, workshops and satellites. The emphasis, however, is on poster presentations.
Submit your abstract to the FENS Forum 2014 today to present and discuss your work during Europe’s prime Forum on neuroscience. In order to submit an abstract you must first register to the FENS Forum. When you register before February 2, 2014, you can save up to € 70 on your registration fee.
Note that the deadline for abstract submission on February 2, 2014 is rapidly approaching!
Travel grants of up to 750€ are offered to students and postdoctoral fellows by FENS, IBRO and several national European neuroscience societies.
Deadline for travel grant application is February 2, 2014 – don’t miss it!
- To register to the FENS Forum 2014, click here.
- Details on abstract submission are available here.
- Information on FENS – IBRO/PERC travel grants can be obtained here.
- More information on the FENS Forum program, venue etc. is available on the Forum website.
We look forward to welcoming you in Milan from July 5 – 9, 2014!
Best regards,
FENS
Organized by FENS – Hosted by the Sociétà Italiana dei Neuroscienze
Call for Proposals for Symposia
Deadline extended to January 31, 2014
The Program Committee under the chairmanship of Rafael Linden (Federal University of Rio de Janeiro) has been appointed by the Governing Council of IBRO to decide on the scientific program of the 9th IBRO World Congress. The Scientific Program will be built on the basis of proposals submitted by scientists from all over the world and in all areas of neuroscience research.

WHAT IS THE NIH BRAIN INITIATIVE?
The NIH Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies (BRAIN) Initiative is part of a new Presidential focus aimed at revolutionizing our understanding of the human brain. By accelerating the development and application of innovative technologies, researchers will be able to produce a revolutionary new dynamic picture of the brain that, for the first time, shows how individual cells and complex neural circuits interact in both time and space. Long desired by researchers seeking new ways to treat, cure, and even prevent brain disorders, this picture will fill major gaps in our current knowledge and provide unprecedented opportunities for exploring exactly how the brain enables the human body to record, process, utilize, store, and retrieve vast quantities of information, all at the speed of thought.
The third joint meeting MP-CINV will take place in Valparaíso on January 19-22, 2014 covering different subjects of neuroscience, including neural network, neurogenetics, sensory biology, computational neuroscience and brain science.
