About Us

The biennial meeting of NSI is held in September every second year, and serves as a multidisciplinary forum for knowledge and expertise sharing, thereby facilitating excellence in neuroscience research in Ireland.

In order to promote Irish neuroscience research at international meetings, NSI offers travel bursaries to its postgraduate or postdoctoral members. The promotion of education in the neurosciences including outreach to the general public is also a goal of NI, and is facilitated by public lectures and symposia.

Members of the NSI are automatically members of FENS. This entitles NSI members to the following benefits:

  • A reduced registration rate for the FENS Forum.

  • Access to the official FENS journal, EJN, online free of charge, and a subscription to the print edition at a reduced rate.

  • Eligibility to apply for one of the free abstract slots for the SfN Meeting, linked to a reduced registration fee.

  • Subscription at very attractive discount rates to several leading neuroscience journals.

  • Eligibility to buy books at special FENS member rates.

  • Receipt of the FENS e-mailings (Job Market, EJN table of contents etc.).

Equality and Diversity

Neuroscience is better with a broad and diverse team. We welcome, encourage and support differences, it is our uniqueness that make us the team we are regardless of age, sex, gender-identity, race, ethnicity, nationality, disability, family status, sexual orientation, religion or socio-economic status or any minority status. Neuroscience Ireland is a signatory to The Alba Network  for the promotion of equity and diversity in brain sciences.
