The Institute for Neuroscience, a joint centre of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) and the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH), hosts its 23rd Christmas Meeting on 21–22 December 2026 in Sant Joan d'Alacant. The meeting brings together researchers from the Institute and early-career neuroscientists working abroad to exchange ideas, build new collaborations, and explore career opportunities.

About the meeting

Our Christmas Meeting is conceived with the goal of facilitating interactions between the Institute for de Neurosciences and young neuroscientists working abroad. In particular, this meeting offers an excellent opportunity for senior postdoctoral fellows or young faculty members to get to know the IN. We are interested in scientists working in all fields of neuroscience.
