Welcome

Welcome to the website of the Dutch Neuroscience Meeting (DN 2016), formerly known as the Endo-Neuro-Psycho (ENP) meeting. Over the past decade, this annual meeting has evolved into a unique national forum for the exchange of knowledge among various research disciplines in the field of neuroscience, including neuroendocrinology, psychology, neurology and psychiatry. Our history can be tracked using the links to the past editions of our meeting.

Like in 2015, the DN meeting will be held in two days. The scientific and social programme is designed to facilitate and stimulate the integration between scientists of different disciplines and career stage. The meeting consists of carefully selected topic-oriented parallel sessions, arranged in such a way that most participants will find sessions of their interest throughout the two-day programme. These sessions feature internationally renowned senior researchers alongside postdocs and Ph.D. students. This approach creates an ideal atmosphere to promote the interaction between established senior and junior scientists and fulfils an important aim of the meeting.

The organisers welcome and encourage all researchers to submit an abstract for one of the two poster sessions that are open to both established and young scientists, including Master students.

As last year, DN 2016 will be held at the Congress Centre 'de Werelt' in Lunteren. This venue provides spacious rooms for parallel sessions, a large hall for poster presentations, a beautiful lounge area to interact with colleagues, and comfortable rooms to stay overnight. Because of the anticipated high number of participants, the organisers strongly recommend and request room sharing. This will permit all of your colleagues to be accommodated on site, thus sharing the atmosphere also in the evening hours.

We encourage you to explore this year's rich programme and look forward to seeing you in Lunteren next June!

On behalf of the Organising Committee,
