Call for FENS-JNS Exchange Support Programme to join The 2021 CAJAL Advanced Neuroscience Training Programme

The Japan Neuroscience Society (JNS) and FENS under an agreement, provide support for travel and/or accommodation costs associated with participation in respective JNS or FENS Meetings or in FENS supported Cajal training courses. This programme stipends up to a maximum of € 4,000 cover the actual travel expenses (economy flight only) and expenses linked to accommodation during the annual or biennial meetings, or the training period. (The amount of the award cash varies depending on the number of recipients.) This programme is designed to help researchers broaden their research perspective and to encourage their research and social interactions. JNS helps and supports undergraduate students, graduate students who are working towards a master or PhD degree, or early phase postdocs (less than three years after obtaining PhD at the time of the application deadline) to join the FENS biennial meetings in the even years or the FENS-supported Cajal training programs in odd years.

We are now calling for the application for the Cajal training programs.
