Every two years the German Neuroscience Society organizes a meeting in Goettingen.
The Goettingen meetings of the German Neuroscience Society are held in the odd years,
alternating with the FENS Forum in the even years.
The meetings covers a wide range of topics in neuroscience research.
With approx. 2.000 partipants this meeting is one of the largest neuroscience conferences in Europe.
Members of the German Neuroscience Society participate at a reduced fee, however,
also non-members are welcome to this meeting. The next Goettingen meeting will be held from March 23 - 27, 2011.
