The aims of the
Society are
 to
facilitate the worldwide advancement of neurochemistry and related neuroscience
disciplines
to foster the education and development of neurochemists, particularly of young and emerging investigators

The ISN Biennial
Meetings
As an international
society, we choose meeting locations throughout the world. The next Biennial Meeting
will take place in Busan, Korea from August 23-29, 2009. Travel grants
for young investigators to attend the meetings are available by application.
Postdoctoral applicants should have received their Ph.D. or M.D. no more
than 8 years ago. The travel grants are advertised in Neurochemistry News
(The Newsletter of the Community of Neurochemical Societies including
ISN), and via the website for the ISN at www.neurochem.org
.
Standing Committees
of the ISN
The Society
offers opportunities to join one of the standing committees, e.g.:
The
Committee for Aid and Education in Neurochemistry, which pursues several
initiatives, intended to stimulate neurochemical research in economically
deprived and developing countries.
The
ISN Conferences Committee, which funds small international meetings on
specialized neurochemical topics.
The
ISN Advanced Schools of Neurochemistry Committee that organizes a course
for young scientists on contemporary neurochemical subjects in conjunction
with each biennial meeting of the Society.
The Travel Grant Committee, which awards travel grants for attending the
biennial meetings.
Applications
for Membership are considered by the Secretary:
Persons from any part of the world
-
who have a Ph.D., M.D. or equivalent degree, or
-
who have contributed notably to the advancement of
neurochemistry and related neuroscience disciplines;
-
who have amassed a past or present record of neuroscience
research through publications in refereed journals
and
-
who have a reasonable prospect of continued neurochemically-oriented
activities.
Annual
dues: US $ 60
Membership
dues will be waived for newly admitted members for the
calendar year in which they join the ISN. The Society
will also waive membership dues, on the basis of annual
request and approval, if the economic conditions and
currency regulation make such payment a serious hardship.
Members vote at ISN business meetings and by email ballot.
Reduced
Membership Fee
In case an applicant has only recently begun research
in neurochemistry and is in the process of attaining a doctoral degree with a reasonable prospect of continuous activity in neurochemistry, or has held a postdoctoral position for less than three years, the applicant may be eligible for a reduced membership fee of US $ 25..
