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.

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.
