Day 1: Scientific meeting

The first day will follow the traditional format of previous YNMs, with 24 doctoral students having the opportunity to present their research to an audience consisting of their colleagues and supervisors. Postdoctoral researchers act as hosts. Additionally, we invite undergraduate and graduate students who are engaged in neuroscience research, to present their findings in the form of posters. 

Day 2: Public event

The second day is open to the public, and will provide an opportunity for them to engage and understand neuroscience, and the work being performed on it in the region. This will occur through a number of events, including public lectures and awareness talks. In collaboration with the School of Art, a special “Neuro-ART” exhibition will be hosted. Additionally, a number of workshops and activities will be provided, being run by young neuroscientists from Rijeka and our partner institutions.
