Welcome

Dear colleagues and friends,

On behalf of the programme committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the website of the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting (DNM), formerly known as the Endo-Neuro-Psycho (ENP) meeting. The meeting provides an invaluable opportunity to meet and share your research with scientists and clinicians among various research disciplines in the field of neuroscience, including neuroendocrinology, psychology, neurology and psychiatry. Our history can be tracked using the weblinks to the past editions of our meeting.

The DNM 18 meeting will be held on 7-8 June 2018. The scientific and social programme is designed to facilitate and stimulate the integration between scientists of different disciplines and career stages. The meeting starts and closes with prominent keynote speakers with a diverse range of parallel seminar sessions over both days, arranged in such a way that most participants will find sessions of their interest throughout the programme. These sessions feature internationally renowned senior researchers alongside postdocs and Ph.D. students. The multidisciplinary audience is made up of researchers, clinicians, Ph.D. students, postdoctoral fellows, and trainees. This approach creates an ideal atmosphere to advance research and promote the interaction between established senior and junior scientists and fulfils an important aim of the meeting.

The organisers welcome and encourage all researchers to submit an abstract for one of the two poster sessions that are open to both established and young scientists, including Master students.

DNM 18 will be held at the Congress Centre 'de Werelt' in Lunteren. This venue provides spacious rooms for parallel sessions, a large hall for poster presentations, a beautiful lounge area to interact with colleagues, and comfortable rooms to stay overnight. Because of the anticipated high number of participants, the organisers strongly recommend and request room sharing. This will permit all of your colleagues to be accommodated on site, thus sharing the atmosphere also for the evening programme.

We encourage you to review the outstanding programme and wholeheartly invite you and your colleagues to attend the DNM in June!

On behalf of the Organising Committee,

Jocelien Olivier
