Description

This conference has been established as a high-quality meeting on contemporary neuroscience for many years. For the 20th conference we aim at topping previous programs by inviting most distinguished neuroscientists as keynote speakers and select high-quality symposia. Sölden is an Alpine village about 1 hours drive from the city of Innsbruck in Austria. The venue is a 5-star SPA hotel in one of the largest ski resorts in Austria with a restaurant carrying prestigious awards by international restaurant guides. Normally 120-150 participants, among them a large number of distinguished scientists share the opportunity to meet colleagues in a relaxed and cosy atmosphere. During the day, time for skiing in the high-altitude ski resort is perfectly possible even in March.

The Venue

Das Central is a 5-star SPA hotel in one of the largest ski resorts in Austria with a restaurant carrying prestigious awards by international restaurant guides. We have reserved a contingency of rooms at a reduced price for conference participants and their accompanying persons, which is of great value considering that a sumptuous breakfast and a 5-course dinner as well as a gala dinner on one evening is included in the conference rate. Furthermore, hotel residents receive free access to the SPA area. Free wireless internet access is available. A free hotel shuttle transfers hotel guests to the closest ropeways for entering the ski resort, only a minute away.
