The 6th Conference of the Mediterranean Neuroscience Society will be held in Malta from 12 to 15 June 2017, in collaboration with Malta Neuroscience Network (MNN) and Malta Chamber of Scientists organised by ECMeetings. The official conference journals will be CNS Neuroscience and Therapeutics by Wiley and Xjenza Online, the Journal of the Malta Chamber of Scientists.
The opening lecture and the plenary speakers for the Mediterranean Neuroscience Society Meeting 2017 (MNS 2017) have been announced:

5. Rossa Cossart (France)
6. Iliana Gozes (Israel)
7. Carmen Cavada (Spain)

Symposia dealing with all areas of neuroscience research are invited. The symposium organiser should submit a proposal in the following format:
- title of the symposium
- name(s) and address(s) of the organiser(s)
- general abstract of the symposium describing the aims of the symposium (no more than 500 words)
- name, address and title of the presentation of each speaker (no abstracts are requested at this stage)
- a typical symposium gathers 4-5 speakers, each addressing the general topic from a different perspective. Total allocated time is 2 hours.
The MNS strives to strengthen exchanges between Mediterranean neuroscientists, promote education in the neurosciences and increase public awareness of progress made. The participation of scientists from the South countries, whether as organisers of symposia or as speakers, is therefore highly encouraged. The gender ratio within each proposal will also be taken into account to reach a decision.
Applications must be sent online through www.mnsociety.net/call-for-symposia
Deadline for submitting a proposal is 15 May 2016.
The MNS and its partners will provide a limited number of stipends for qualified young candidates.
More information is available on the website.
