AAIC® Neuroscience Next | April 17-20, 2023 | Virtual Conference — Free of Charge
AAIC Neuroscience Next is a global, no-cost virtual conference that showcases the work of students, postdoctoral researchers and early career research professionals in cognitive, computational, behavioral, and other areas of neuroscience research. At AAIC Neuroscience Next, attendees will have access to information on funding and networking opportunities, further advancing their careers and accelerating the future of neuroscience.
Spotlight your research with an oral or poster presentation at AAIC Neuroscience Next. Early career neuroscience researchers who submit an abstract have the opportunity to present research to leaders and peers in the field. Abstracts spanning the breadth of neuroscience research are eligible for submission (not solely those related to Alzheimer’s and dementia research).
Areas of interest include:
The Alzheimer’s Association is proud to celebrate the individuals who have made significant contributions to dementia science through two awards at AAIC Neuroscience Next. These awards recognize the work of mentors in neuroscience, as well as those who are just beginning their career in this vital field. Award nominations will open in early February 2023.
The Alzheimer’s Association Excellence in Neuroscience Mentoring Award honors individuals who have made significant contributions to the mentoring of dementia scientists, through either research mentorship (where the mentor shares technical knowledge and skills), career mentorship (where a mentor shares insights on career navigation and provides advancement opportunities), or personal mentorship (where a mentor guides their mentees to build confidence, persist through obstacles and achieve personal goals). The nomination of early career investigators and individuals who have led mentorship initiatives for underrepresented groups in dementia science is particularly encouraged.
The AAIC Neuroscience Next ‘One to Watch’ Award recognizes the next generation of leaders in neuroscience; the students, postdoctoral researchers and early career investigators who are trailblazers in scientific thinking, collaboration, communication and/or outreach. The nomination of individuals who are facilitating diverse perspectives in dementia science is particularly encouraged.
The Scientific Program Committee — an international body of neuroscience students, postdoctoral researchers and seasoned experts — is committed to developing the most relevant and innovative content for AAIC Neuroscience Next.
AAIC Neuroscience Next offers additional opportunities for academic institutions to feature their programs during the conference. Plus, gain access to training materials and support your students in submitting abstracts to AAIC Neuroscience Next.
