As the main organisation representing and serving the neuroscience community in Europe, FENS is committed to supporting the people, methods of inquiry and resources that make up the research enterprise. FENS achieves this through programmes that promote excellence in scientific research, networking and exchange, training and education, and multi-scale engagement, advocacy and outreach activities. Central to our work is an active long-term commitment to promoting equity, diversity and inclusion beyond the gender spectrum in brain research.

While significant progress has been made in basic, clinical and translational neuroscience research in the past few decades, the disparities in access to opportunities, research capacity for innovation, and leadership in science leave much to be achieved.

FENS strongly believes that scientific philanthropy plays a crucial role in shaping the conduct and communication of science. Your donation to a non-profit association like FENS will be highly impactful in accelerating discovery research and cross-disciplinary collaboration, supporting the mentorship and career advancement of young scientists, and increasing public awareness about the importance and benefits of brain research.
