EXTENSION DEADLINE FOR SYMPOSIUM SUBMISSION
EXTENSION DEADLINE FOR SYMPOSIUM SUBMISSION
DEADLINE OF SYMPOSIA SUBMISSION TO MNS2021 HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 15TH SEPTEMBER 2020

Dear MNS Friend,

We support our community during this crisis and this is why we are extending the deadline for submissions to 15th of September 2020. We hope that you have now enough time to prepare a proposal for a Symposium to share your innovative work on basic, clinical or translational neuroscience at 8th Mediterranean Neuroscience Society (MNS) Conference from Sunday, June 13th to Thursday, June 17th, 2021, at Hotel Dubrovnik Palace, Dubrovnik, Croatia, cohosted by the Croatian Society for Neuroscience.


A typical symposium gathers 4-5 speakers, each addressing the general topic from a different perspective. Total allocated time is 2 hours per proposed symposium (linked symposia could be proposed, but their joint acceptance is not guaranteed, given our aim to increase thematic diversity). Symposia dealing with all areas of neuroscience research are warmly invited, including, in particular, neuroscience topics which have not been traditionally covered in the past editions.

The requirement to submit a proposal is active MNS membership for the current year


DEADLINE OF SYMPOSIA SUBMISSION TO MNS2021 HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 15TH SEPTEMBER 2020

The MNS strives to strengthen exchanges between Mediterranean neuroscientists, promote education in the neurosciences and increase public awareness of progress made. The participation of scientists from the South countries, whether as organizers of symposia or as speakers, is, therefore, highly encouraged. The gender ratio within each proposal will also be taken into account to reach a decision.

The MNS and its partners will provide a limited number of stipends for qualified young candidates (guidelines to be released soon). However, the symposium proponents are invited to seek funding for travel, accommodation and conference registration of the invited participants (MNS only offers the logistic support at the meeting venue).  Some opportunities for economic support are available from Frontiers and Wiley and MNS will provide a number of Travel Grants for early stage researchers.

  • Title of the symposium
  • Name(s) and address(s) of the organizer(s)
  • General abstract of the symposium describing the aims of the symposium (no more than 500 words)
  • Name, address and title of the presentation of each speaker (no abstracts are requested at this stage).
  • Opportunity to edit a Research Topic article collection with Frontiers on the subject of the Symposium, with $1000 support from Frontiers if selected.

REMEMBER, TO BE ABLE TO SUBMIT YOUR SYMPOSIUM YOU NEED TO BE AN ACTIVE MNS MEMBER. FIRST REGISTER, THEN MAKE YOUR MEMBERSHIP PAYMENT (JOIN/RENEW).

We look forward to receiving your proposals. MNS2021’s program is designed to provide a stimulating and engaging experience where you can learn from, and network with, colleagues from around the world.

If you are not able to make a submission to the Call for Proposals, we hope you can attend this global event in beautiful Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Mediterranean coast.

We look forward to your contributions to MNS2021.
