Dear Colleagues!
Since the International Society for Invertebrate Neurobiology (ISIN) has officially been disbanded due to Hungarian accounting law in 2015, the ISIN Symposium became questionable from that time. Based on feedback from home and international colleagues arriving in the last four years, there is still a need for an organized form of information exchange on the actual scientific question of invertebrate neurobiology. Therefore, it is our pleasure to announce that the Department of Experimental Zoology of the MTA CER, Balaton Limnological Institute and its partner, pcongress.hu are planning to organize the next invertebrate neuroscience meeting named as the "1st Symposium on Invertebrate Neuroscience" in Tihany, Hungary, to be held August 13-17, 2019.
As many of you already know, the
MTA Centre for Ecological Research, Balaton Limnological Institute located directly on the shore of Lake Balaton was the traditional site of the earlier ISIN symposia held since 1967, offering an exceptional private atmosphere for scientists to meet and discuss recent developments of the research field.
The 1st Symposium on Invertebrate Neuroscience in Tihany will focus on the most recent discoveries in invertebrate neuroscience from molecules to behavior. The conference will be devoted to the comparative neurobiology of invertebrates with special attention to the following priorities: chemical senses, related adaptive behaviors, and chemical-ecology. In addition to the wide range of scientific insights a special emphasis will also be placed on cutting edge technologies in invertebrate neurosciences. The conference will be held for five days and will include three or four key-lectures, oral communications and two poster sessions.
On behalf of the organizing committee we look forward to the prospect of your attendance at our meeting.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Zsolt Pirger
Adaptive Neuroethological Research Group,
Department of Experimental Zoology,
MTA CER Balaton Limnological Institute
