The team at the Brainbox Initiative is working hard alongside our esteemed Scientific Committee, made up of leading non-invasive brain stimulation researchers working across an array of modalities, to construct the 2023 programme and expect to announce our first set of keynote speakers shortly.
Join us between September 21-23, 2023 at the prestigious Wellcome Collection in central London - a world-renowned venue exploring science, medicine, life, and art - for two days filled with some of the very best non-invasive brain stimulation and imaging research being carried out around the world. Researchers will also have the option to join us virtually to provide extra flexibility for travel considerations.
About the Brainbox Initiative Conference:
Arriving back in central London for its 7th annual conference since its inception in 2017, the Brainbox Initiative Conference has highlighted and promoted the exceptionally groundbreaking work being carried out by early and mid-career neuroscientists at the forefront of non-invasive brain stimulation research.
Our early-career speakers will be to sharing their work, research, and insights on stage side-by-side with our world-renowned keynote speakers whose distinguished careers have helped to shape the field, as well as providing a supportive, welcoming, and inclusive environment to develop new connections and explore exciting new avenues for research projects.
As well as a range of stimulating talks, the Brainbox Initiative Conference programme is supported by a range of interactive demonstrations and exhibitions of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in action, allowing attendees to see some of the latest technologies up close and personal and gain expert technical insights into the development of exciting new systems.
Submit a poster
Each year, the Brainbox Initiative Conference offers early-career researchers the opportunity not only to share their research posters at the conference, but also to supplement this display with a supporting three-minute, on-stage pitch to the full conference cohort. These pitches help researchers to ensure that they are reaching as wide an audience as possible at the event, as well as providing crucial first-hand experience of speaking on-stage at an internationally-attended event.
We encourage any researchers who would like to present their work at the Brainbox Initiative Conference 2023 to submit an abstract. Call for entries is open now, and we will be accepting submissions until September 1, 2023.
