The Third ISN Special Neurochemistry Conference

Call for proposals

In 2004 the ISN began a series of Special Neurochemistry Conferences. The first one took place in Avignon, France, on May 13-16, and focused on “Changes in neuronal gene expression and CNS drug responses”. The second on “Neural Glycomics and Lipidomics” will be held in Antigua, West Indies, on December 1-5, 2006

The ISN now invites submission of proposals for the organization of the Third ISN Special Neurochemistry Conference to be held in 2008. For this purpose the ISN will provide 150,000 USD to the organizers. Proposals will be examined by the ISN Council and a decision made based on the quality of the scientific program as well as the suitability of the proposed venue.

The conference will:

·        be located in the Asian Pacific Region
·        be focused on an important and timely neurochemical topic
·        have a 3 day duration with no parallel sessions
·        not exceed 300 participants
·        not coincide in time with other major neuroscience meetings

Proposals should include:

·        Name and address of organizer(s)
·        A statement on the importance of the topic
·        An outline of the program and list of speakers
·        Details about the location, facilities and dates
·        A preliminary budget

The ISN Council reserves the right to suggest changes to the scientific program.

Submission deadline: April 15, 2006
