Be part of the 2021 Festival of Neuroscience

1st Nov 2019

BNA2021 Festival of Neuroscience

Don't miss out on the largest neursocience event of its kind across Europe in 2021 - make sure your society, charity or organisation is part of the BNA Festival of Neuroscience! 

More than thirty organisations have taken part in Festivals to date, including neuroscience societies from overseas.  

We are now inviting organisations to join us to share and celebrate the latest thinking in neuroscience at BNA2021.

In April 2021 the British Neuroscience Association will host its fifth Festival of Neuroscience in Brighton, UK. 

The ambition and scope of the BNA Festivals make them unparalleled across neuroscience. There are two aspects of the Festivals which make them unique:

  • They bring together multiple organisations with an interest in brain research at a single, shared event, creating a novel, multi-organisation forum featuring all areas of fundamental research in neuroscience and psychology, from both academia and the commercial sector, plus clinical expertise in neurology and psychiatry.
  • In addition to being an international science conference, a full programme of public events takes place as well. Past Festivals have seen a rap performance about consciousness, lunchtime talks, sessions in schools, and much more.

How your organisation can be part of the 2021 Festival of Neuroscience

Being a Partner at a Festival of Neuroscience enables your organisation to become an integral part of the event.

There are two main options to be part of BNA2021: being either a Partner Society or a Festival Partner. The main difference is that Partner Societies each own one symposium in the programme, whereas Festival Partners have four symposia, a plenary, and a high-level involvement in all aspects of the event.   

Both Partner Societies and Festival Partners are invited to be part of the main Programme Organising Committee, and all members of all partnering organisations are entitled to siginficantly reduced registration fees plus other benefits.

To become a partner, please contact office@bna.org.uk by 17th January 2020.

Partner Societies have access to all this at a fraction of the cost of organising such a meeting independently. Moreover, you can also benefit from significantly reduced rates for exhibiting and other opportunities.

Being a Partner gives your organisation a presence and visibility at arguably the most scientifically exciting and popular UK neuroscience event, and, in Festival years, the largest event of its kind across Europe. We hope that your organisation will join us!

*All symposia need to meet the guidelines and be reviewed by the Programme Organising Committee before being accepted into the programme.
