BNA 20th National Meeting - abstract deadline 31st JANUARY! There is only two weeks left to submit an abstract and to register at the ‘early bird’ fee for the 20th National Meeting of the British Neuroscience Association (19th – 22nd April, 2009)! We are delighted to be using for the first time The Adelphi, Liverpool, a unique and historic venue that now offers spacious conference facilities in addition to its other grand rooms and restaurants. And Liverpool is a fascinating city, fast emerging as one of the UK’s most stylish, cultured and vibrant conference venues in the UK. So why not come and enjoy some wonderful science in a truly magnificent city and see for yourself what’s been going on behind the cranes and the hoardings these past few years. The scientific programme is an exciting and topical array of seven world-class plenary speakers, 20 symposia and over 50 themed poster sessions. For the first time, there are also workshops and a satellite meeting, all FREE to registered delegates. With an equally exciting range of peripheral events and social gatherings (yes, there’ll even be a Magical Mystery Tour!) this will be a wonderful celebration of neuroscience on UK soil. Registration fees start from as little as £120 (including refreshments and lunches each day too), and the BNA welcomes members and non-members alike. Consult www.bna.org.uk/bna2009/ for further information and all the latest updates. Important deadlines: Early registration (reduced fee): 31st January, 2009 Abstract deadline: 31st January, 2009 Bursary applications: 28th February, 2009 ***************************************************************
