The 2nd International Vilnius Neuroscience Conference for Young Researchers
After a successful launch last year, the 2nd International Vilnius Neuroscience Conference for Young Researchers will bring together young investigators in clinical neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, neuroscience, and related fields to present their work, connect with peers, and learn from invited speakers.
Alongside invited lectures, a major part of the conference will feature presentations by undergraduate and graduate students, resident doctors, and young researchers. Separate sessions will be held in neurology, neurosurgery, toxicology, psychiatry, and neuroscience. Prizes will be awarded to the best speakers.
