Your attendance at this open meeting June 21-22, 2022 will help us continue to build the BRAIN community and provide a forum for discussing exciting scientific developments and potential new directions, and to identify areas for collaboration and research coordination.
Share your science at the 8th Annual BRAIN Initiative Meeting: Open Science, New Tools taking place June 21-22, 2022! Plans are currently underway for this meeting and we expect to open the registration website in January 2022. There you will find more details about the meeting program, abstract submission process, and the tentative hybrid nature of this year’s meeting.
We value your research and innovative technologies so this year’s meeting will provide several opportunities and formats for you to present. We’re working to ensure you can join us safely in-person or virtually this year and hope to confirm if this will be a hybrid event no later than March 2022. Attendees may submit proposals and abstracts to present via symposia or poster sessions. Additionally, we will be accepting submissions for awards that highlight the wonderful work of our trainees. Registration and submissions for symposia, posters, and awards will open in January! Check back for the meeting website here.
