Berlin Brain Days
To organize the Berlin Brain Days, six neuroscience Ph.D. training programs in Berlin are joining forces.
The number of neuroscience Ph.D. training programs in Berlin has grown rapidly, and so has the number of Ph.D. students working in the many neuroscience research groups. To foster exchange and interaction between neuroscience faculty and students across Berlin, the undersigned organizations and training programs are joining forces in the Berlin Brain Days.
