Focus groups

Format 

Focus groups bring together experts from different subdomains working on the same theme. They are open to scientists from all levels and seniority.

Meetings can take place in the form of brainstorm sessions, informal meetings, round table discussions, journals clubs, work-in-progress seminars,...

Aims 

  • Stimulating interactions and connecting between researchers, facilitating interdisciplinary projects 

  • Introducing less experienced to more experienced neuroscientists, and vice versa

  • Invite relevant speakers during LBI meetings, highlight relevant funding opportunities, and conferences
