Neuroanatomy is the foundation of all neuroscience. Yet, the application of neuroanatomical knowledge in everyday clinical or scientific practice can be difficult. The brain course at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität (LMU) München aims at illustrating and teaching anatomical issues as viewed from various neuroscientific disciplines. The Munich Brain Course is a yearly event held every spring. Each course has several main topics, with additional presentations and hands-on dissections. The upcoming course will take place on March 15th and 16th, 2019.
As a sponsor of the Munich Brain Course, the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences at LMU Munich will select up to 5 Bachelor or Master students to participate in the 2019 course. Selected students will receive an award covering travel costs and course fees. Accommodation will also be provided.
Eligibility:
Bachelor or Master students enrolled (this translates to still having coursework to complete after the workshop in March 2019) in life science or natural science degree programs outside of Germany.
