Objective
The 4th Forum of European Neuroscience, to be held in Lisbon on July 10-14, 2004, will be one of the largest European meetings in the field of basic and clinical neuroscience. Topics addressed will range from genes and molecules implicated in brain function and dysfunction, to the physiopathology and therapy of diseases such as major neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders. A special emphasis will be given to translational science, i.e. how recent basic scientific findings can rapidly and successfully contribute to significant advances in the management of brain diseases with a high individual and socio-economic impact. The Forum will include 9 plenary and 12 special lectures, 56 symposia, 7 technical workshops and approximately 3000 poster presentations from over 4500 participants. Two special sessions will take place, in association with the European DANA Alliance for the Brain, and with the European Brain Council. The main objectives are: 1) to contribute to the advance of neuroscience research, especially in Europe, by bringing together experts from all over Europe and beyond, to present and discuss their latest findings with their peers; 2) to promote education in neurosciences, facilitating the participation of young researchers and PhD students, by providing specially reduced registration fees and stipends, and organizing one workshop on education in neuroscience in Europe; 3) to boost the collaboration and scientific networks between European laboratories, including Eastern European countries, as stipends will be available for both young and senior scientists from those countries. The Forum is particularly relevant to the objectives of the Specific Programme "Integrating and strengthening the European Research Area", under the topic "Specific brain research support actions". In addition, it will contribute to achieve the objectives of establishing an European Brain Research Area...
