C-BRAINS: supporting Neuroscience et Cognitives Sciences in Ile-de-France
On February 16, 2022, the Regional Council of Ile-De-France voted to create 9 new Major Innovation and Research Areas (DRIM). The C-BRAINS project, a DRIM dedicated to Neurosciences and Cognitive Sciences in Ile-de-France, was selected for funding for 2022-2026. This project brings together >200 research teams located on 17 sites in the Ile-de-France region, as […]
IFM is preparing for the FENS Forum 2022 in Paris!
IFM teams will be present at the FENS Forum 2022, which will be held in Paris from July 9 to 13, 2022. Several teams are also participating in the Young Investigator Training Programme (YITP), which allows young European researchers to stay in French laboratories for short periods (2-3 weeks) of discovery before the FENS Forum.
