2024 Munich Brain Course Award, Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences – LMU Munich

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 15^th and 16^th, 2024.

As a sponsor of the Munich Brain Course, the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences at LMU Munich (GSN^LMU) will select up to 5 Bachelor or Master students to participate in the 2024 course. Applicants must be registered in a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program outside of Germany. Selected students will receive an award covering travel costs, course fees, and accommodation.

The event will also offer a valuable opportunity to connect with the Munich neuroscience network and get to know the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences up close, by visiting one of the 160+ GSN^LMU labs.

Award recipients will be expected to participate for the full duration of the event.

• March 13^th – arrival in Munich
• March 14^th – 1-day lab placement with a GSN^LMU Faculty Member of your choice (to be included in your motivation letter)
