ICPBR Summer School
In Non-Human Primate Systems Neuroscience
Sept 9th - 15th, 2024
The ICPBR Summer School in Non-Human Primate Systems Neuroscience, is to be held during September 9-15 in Shanghai. This school will be sponsored by the International Center for Primate Brain Research (ICPBR), a new center affiliated with the Institute of Neuroscience (ION) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The goal of this school is to provide introductory lectures to international young investigators (mainly graduate students and post-doctoral fellows) on recent advances in the science and technology related to non-human primate research, with relevance to the understanding of human brain functions and disorders.The ICPBR school will cover the cost of domestic and international flights, local transport, accommodation and meals during the event.
The school will consist of two parts: Lectures and Tutorials (7 days) and Internship (up to 1 month). The lectures will be given by 19 distinguished researchers in the field of primate neurobiology. The tutorials will be provided by instructors and teaching assistants, with full participation of the students. A total of 30 students will be selected from the applicants. A portion (8-10) of the students will also be accepted for internships in ICPBR/ION laboratories for participation in laboratory projects and exercises for a duration of up to 1 month.
For more information regarding the application process and travel arrangements please visit the school policies.
The application deadline: 30.04.2024 (11:59 p.m. GMT+8). Please use the online system to apply, the applications send directly by email will not be considered.
