ABC Seminars
Aalto Brain Centre seminar series, stimulating neuroscience synergies and collaboration across departments at the School of Science. Welcome!
As part of the ABC initiative, we host the ABC Seminar series, inviting scholars in different fields of neuroscience to give talks on their coolest and newest projects. The presenters at the ABC seminars include researchers from different departments and schools within Aalto, as well as visitors. The idea is to promote a space for informal conversation, networking, discussion of new ideas, improvement of current projects, and general brainstorming within the ABC community.
Subscribe to our mailing list to hear about our future events! We warmly welcome you!
