History
editThe federation was founded in 1998 to coordinate and present at the European level the research of members of national and European neuroscience societies. It succeeded the European Neuroscience Association. FENS federates 44 member societies and 5 associate member societies, representing around 23,000 scientists.[1][2]
Activities
editFENS organises an international scientific meeting in even years, the FENS Forum of European Neuroscience. Every meeting takes place in a different European country hosted by its national neuroscience society.[3] In the odd years that no Forum meeting takes place, a FENS Regional Meeting is held.[4] In addition, twice yearly more specialised meetings are organized in collaboration with the Lundbeck Foundation, called The Brain Conferences.[5][6][7]
Publications
editTogether with Wiley-Blackwell, the federation publishes the European Journal of Neuroscience, a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal,[8] and the FENS Forum Abstracts, the proceedings of the FENS Forums of European Neuroscience.
