IBRO aims to foster neuroscience research, especially in less well-funded countries, by providing support through the following grants (currently open applications are marked with a red icon):
Three more young European scientists have been awarded InEurope grants to fund short-stay visits at another European laboratory so that they can acquire new methods or specific techniques that are necessary for their work.
Thirty young researchers have been awarded travel grants of up to 1250 euros, through the IBRO International Travel Grants Programme, to attend international neuroscience meetings and conferences taking place between July and December of this year.
Applications are made on line. You may apply at any time. There are no
hard copies of applications. Selections are made several times during
the year. Selected applicants will be notified at the end of February,
May, August and November. Applicants who are not selected in one round
of evaluations will remain in competition for the next round. Stays in a host laboratory may be completed at any time within 2012. Within two
weeks of the conclusion of the research activity, laureates are
required to send a brief report suitable for posting on the IBRO web
site. Pictures are always welcome.
Cordoba, Argentina. "Molecular tools for the study of integrative neurophysiology". Organized by Laura Vivas, one of the goals of the workshop was to expose students and postdoctoral fellows to modern techniques practiced by physiologists in Brazil, Argentina and North America and open the possibility for postdoctoral training in those laboratories.
Moscow, Russia. The meeting was organized under the auspices of the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity/Neurophysiology (IHNAN RAS, Moscow) and the section of somnology of the Pavlovian Physiological Society, and brought together scientists and students who are actively engaged in basic and fundamental clinical studies of the brain in sleep-waking cycle in Russia and other countries of the region.
Ljubljana, Slovenia. The fourth SiNAPSA Neuroscience Conference 2011 - SNC'11 was a success in all respects. The IBRO Alumni Committee funded two FENS-IBRO Alumni as symposium speakers, and the IBRO CEERC supported nine additional participants to this meeting, which also served as the Central European FENS Featured Regional Meeting.
Three young neuroscience researchers - coming from the Palestinian Territories, Tunisia and Argentina - are the 2013 Research Fellows. This programme aims to foster neuroscience research, especially in less well-funded countries, by providing support to high quality neuroscientists from diverse geographic and scientific areas who wish to broaden the scope of their training in neuroscience by working abroad in high-quality laboratories.
Elliot Brown, from Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, traveled to Ghent University, Belgium, through an IBRO CEERC-WERC InEurope Short-Stay Fellowship, to gain more expertise in EEG research on mirror neuron activity and to bring data he collected in Bochum for analysis and preparation for publication.
Alessandro Faroni, from the University of Manchester, UK, recently traveled to Patrizia Procacci’s laboratory at the University of Milan, Italy, as part of the IBRO CEERC-WERC InEurope Short-Stay Laboratory Visit Programme. While there, he performed analyses and learned techniques critical to furthering his research in the field of nerve regeneration.
