Goals of the BSN Junior Board
• Connect young researchers in the field of neuroscience across Belgium
• Help young researchers to find collaborations or a nice place to discuss
• Represent each Belgian university
Activities of the BSN Junior Board
- Neuro, Meet & Match: annual event organized by the BSN Junior Board for Belgium-based young neuroscientists. It consists in one-day program dedicated to promote exchanges and networking, and energize research ideas and creativity among the Neuroscience student community
- Brain & Beers: meet your colleagues across the country to talk about neuroscience
- Any idea ? Propose to the BSN Junior Board !
