The British Neuroscience Association (BNA) is the largest UK organisation representing all aspects of neuroscience.

The Aims of the BNA are to:

  • promote neuroscience research
  • organise lectures, symposia, meetings, events and reports
  • advise on issues in neuroscience
  • engage with the public and the media
  • train neuroscientists and other neuroscience-related professionals
  • represent UK neuroscience to Government, funding agencies, and science administration, regulation and standards organisations.

The BNA is a growing learned society with around 1700 members. There are many benefits of membership, including free or discounted registration for events, discounted journals and books, the BNA Journal and many other offers.

Federation of European Neuroscience Societies

Founded in 1998 at the first Forum of European Neuroscience, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) is the main organisation for neuroscience in Europe. FENS currently represents 43 European national and single discipline neuroscience societies with close to 23,000 member scientists from 33 European countries.
FENS promotes neuroscience research to policy-makers, funding bodies and the general public, both regionally and internationally.

Society for Neuroscience

The Society for Neuroscience is the world’s largest organization of scientists and physicians devoted to understanding the brain and nervous system. The nonprofit organization, founded in 1969, now has nearly 38,000 members in more than 90 countries and over 130 chapters worldwide.


 




Credibility in Neuroscience webinar on reporting

Credibility in Neuroscience webinar on reporting

This webinar was broadcast on 19 August 2020 as part of the British Neuroscience Association’s (BNA) work to ensure that neuroscience research is as robust, reliable, replicable, and reproducible as possible – increasing credibility in neuroscience.

Find out how we can take steps to improve the credibility of how neuroscience research is reported by using some of the new innovative ways to do this.

Mental health: What presents has neuroscience left under the Christmas tree?

Mental health: What presents has neuroscience left under the Christmas tree?
12th December – KCL, London

The burden of mental health disorders continues to grow with a huge impact on individuals, families, and healthcare provision. This year’s British Neuroscience Association (BNA) Christmas Symposium, held at London’s KCL, will bring together leading researchers to describe what neuroscience has contributed to the diagnosis, management and treatment of mental health disorders.

Scottish TSE Network (STN) will host their annual one-day international symposium

Neurodegeneration & The 3Rs: Models, Mechanisms & Resources.

Edinburgh, 6th December, 2016 

The Scottish TSE Network (STN) will host their annual one-day international symposium at the Roslin Institute (Edinburgh, UK) on state of the art approaches to studying neurodegenerative diseases that are consistent with the 3R principles (replacement, refinement, reduction) of animals in research.

Topics will include cell-free protein misfolding assays, human stem cell-based approaches and transgenic C. elegans and Drosophila models, in addition to the opportunities offered by tissue banking and in silico analysis.

For more information visit the British Neuroscience Association.




BNA2017 Festival of Neuroscience

BNA2017 Festival of Neuroscience

“Attending and contributing to meetings such as BNA2017 Festival of Neuroscience is core to a career in science. They provide the opportunity to discuss findings, discover fresh insights on your work, meet researchers from around the world and learn the latest developments in the field.”

“BNA2017 is one of the largest international neuroscience meetings in Europe in 2017, and presents the ideal opportunity for neuroscientists around the world to discuss their science and their ideas, across both discipline boundaries and national borders.”

John Isaac, Head of Neuroscience and Mental Health, The Wellcome Trust.
