A Lundbeck Foundation activity in partnership with FENS.

Since 2014, the Lundbeck Foundation has been FENS’ partner for these prestigious conferences. The Brain Conferences are high-level scientific meetings, where up to 150 experts on a given topic meet in a lively and intimate environment.

‘No hidden agendas, no holding back: striving for a vibrant atmosphere in which open discussions are even more important than exposing the audience to data slides.’

The partnership between the Lundbeck Foundation and FENS enables 2 Brain Conferences to take place annually. One of the Brain Conferences will be linked to the subject of the previous year’s prize winners, while the second is organised by a committee of internationally renowned scientists who suggest the topic and organise the conference program. Both Brain Conferences will take place in Denmark.

The upcoming Brain Conferences 2023:

Establishment and Maintenance of Brain Cell States 23 - 26. april 2023

The Brain Conference 2023 is held at Rungstedgaard, north of Copenhagen.
