The Leuven Brain Institute and the UCLouvain Institute of Neuroscience are organising a joint two-day meeting on Tuesday 04/02/2025 in Leuven and Wednesday 05/02/2025 in Brussels-Woluwe.

The meeting will include two parallel sessions for up to 12 topical symposia organised by members of the two institutes.

Proposals can be submitted by researchers of both institutes. The deadline to submit a proposal is 15/10/2024.
Proposals must be submitted using the LBIoNS platform.

Proposals should include the following information

• Topical symposium title
• Abstract (maximum 250 words)
• Chairs (Name and affiliations)
• Speakers (Name and affiliations)
• Speaker presentation titles

Guidelines

• Each topical symposium will last 1h30.
• Each topical symposium will be co-chaired by two PIs, one from each institute.
• Speakers (which can include the session chairs) will be members of LBI or IoNS.
• Proposals including speakers from the two institutes are encouraged.
• Proposals including an early-career researcher are encouraged.
• Session chairs are free to design their own session format (e.g., a topical session with 3-4 speakers providing complementary talks on a given research topic, a blitz session with a rapid succession of short communications, a debate session, …). The session chairs must ensure that there will be enough time for discussions with the audience.
