CALL FOR SPEAKERS


We are excited to announce our 2023 ISN webinar series “The future of Neuroethology”. These webinars will be held on the following date: September 20, 2023, 16:00 UTC; November 8, 2023, 00:00 UTC; February 21, 2024, 16:00 UTC; and April 17, 2024, 20:00 UTC, through an international online platform. We aim to bring together the neuroethology community by promoting sustainable and inclusive ISN academic activities during the off-meeting years and to reinforce the participation of early career students and investigators. Each webinar will provide opportunities to discuss career paths combined with presentations of cutting-edge science by early career ISN members.

We plan to have 4 slots for 15-min presentations (12 min presentation + 3 min for questions) in each of the four webinars. We invite all interested parties to nominate (or self-nominate) early career ISN members (graduate students, postdocs, and investigators within five years of starting their first position) as speakers of the 2023 ISN webinar series “The future of Neuroethology”. Please, submit your nomination by June 30, 2023 by filling in the following online form: https://forms.gle/xEXyHX8564Stxpkv9

Email questions to ISNwebinarseries@gmail.com

The Organizing Committee of the 2023 ISN webinar series “The future of Neuroethology” will select speakers among nominees considering geographical, ethnic, and gender balance. Priority will be given to applicants who have never attended ISN meetings.
