WELCOME
It is a pleasure to welcome you to “Women in Neuroscience Symposium 2022”. The Women in Neuroscience Symposium 2022 will be held on 12-14 August 2022 by International Center for Neuroscience Research in Georgia. The symposium will be held simultaneously with the Women’s Neuroscience Festival and supported by the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO).
Scientific evidence shows that gender bias still exists in neuroscience. Female neuroscientists are still underrepresented in various aspects of academic life, and gender imbalances have recently been reported in neuroscience citations, raising concerns about the correct evaluation of women’s contributions in science. Women in Neuroscience Symposium aimed to highlight the significance of the contributions of women in recent neuroscientific advances and acknowledge the difficulties and challenges that may have encountered during their scientific careers. This symposium is for a diverse academic audience and we hope that our lectures will help women to move forward in their academic careers and encourage men to support the change needed in this field. On behalf of the scientific committee, we would like to invite MDs, Masters, Ph.D. students, Postdoctoral fellows and young faculty members to participate and present their research at the Women in Neuroscience Symposium 2022.
We look forward to welcoming you to “Women in Neuroscience Symposium 2022”
