Max Planck NeuroMEETS:
Neuroscience Meetings for Extramural Emerging TalentS

MPFI is pleased to announce Max Planck NeuroMEETS. This new seminar series will highlight neuroscience research from talented extramural trainees (postdocs and graduate students). Speakers will be invited to give a seminar at MPFI to share their innovative research and will have the opportunity to meet with our faculty members, students, and postdocs for feedback, discussion, and networking.

Interested postdoctoral scholars and graduate students should submit their applications by the stated deadline below to be considered as speakers. Four postdocs and four graduate students will be selected by the evaluation committee and invited for an in-person or virtual (if preferred) visit. Invited speakers will be provided travel and lodging to MPFI in Jupiter, FL where they will give an hour-long seminar and spend the day interacting with our neuroscience community.

The Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience (MPFI), a nonprofit research organization, is part of the world-renowned Max Planck Society, Germany’s most successful research organization with over 80 institutes worldwide. MPFI brings together exceptional neuroscientists from around the world to answer fundamental questions about brain development and function and to develop new technologies that make groundbreaking scientific discoveries possible. Our campus consists of a rich neuroscience community that includes UF Scripps Biomedical Research, and Florida Atlantic University. Learn more about our campus.
