1st Systems-IN-Action Meeting, 16–18 March 2026

12 de January de 2026

The 1st Systems-IN-Action Meeting will take place from March 16 to 18, 2026, at the Complejo San Juan (Alicante, Spain) and will bring together leading international researchers to discuss how distributed brain circuits give rise to behaviour, from sensation to action

Over the course of three days, the meeting will offer an integrative perspective on systems neuroscience, covering topics such as sensorimotor control, decision-making, memory, navigation, and attention. The programme will feature a top-tier lineup of speakers representing a broad range of experimental and computational approaches, to highlight where the field currently stands and where it is heading.

The meeting is designed to foster interaction and the exchange of ideas in an open and collaborative environment, encouraging dialogue between established investigators and early-career scientists. In addition, the programme will include a half-day hands-on training session for early-career researchers, focused on modern systems neuroscience methodologies.

Registration is now open, and the deadline to register is January 15. As the meeting will have a limited capacity of 120 participants, early registration is strongly encouraged to ensure participation.

The Systems-IN-Action organizing committee is composed of researchers from the Institute for Neurosciences, a joint centre of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), Andreas Kardamakis, head of the Neural Circuits in Vision for Action laboratory; Isabel Pérez Otaño, head of the Plasticity and Remodeling of Neural Circuits laboratory and scientific lead of the Synaptic Modulation of Neural Circuits and Behavior scientific programme; and Ramón Reig, head of the Sensory-motor Processing by Subcortical Areas laboratory.
