In pursuit of advancing life sciences and fostering talent in the field of neuroscience, our summer school seeks to harness the synergies between universities, research institutes, educators, and researchers.
ABOUT THE SCHOOL
We extend a warm invitation to undergraduate students from both domestic and international universities to participate in our one-week study program scheduled for August 4th to August 11th, 2024. The Joint Summer School in Neuroscience & IBRO-APRC-funded Associate School 2024 will be organized by the Chinese Institute for Brain Research, Beijing (CIBR), in collaboration with the Center for Life Sciences (CLS) at Peking University and Tsinghua University, and the IDG/McGovern Institutes for Brain Research at two universities.
Our program features a dynamic schedule, which includes lectures by distinguished neuroscientists from both domestic and international arenas, laboratory visits, literature presentations, and other interactive activities. We have gathered speakers with diverse research backgrounds to provide students with an in-depth exploration of the latest advancements in neuroscience. The program encompasses topics such as the biological mechanisms of learning and memory, emotion, sleep, neurodevelopment, synaptic transmission, neurodegenerative diseases, and psychiatric disorders. This immersive experience is designed to broaden students’ understanding of neurobiology and expose them to cutting-edge themes in the field.

In addition to lectures, students will have the opportunity to embark on laboratory tours, thus offering them first-hand exposure to current research environment. A distinctive and challenging aspect of the program involves literature reports, wherein students will be organized into teams and tasked with presenting on three selected papers. The integration of content and report completion is expected within a two-day timeframe. To encourage communication and networking, the program will incorporate buffet/luncheon parties and interactive activities, providing students with valuable opportunities for engagement and collaboration.
