For our 10th Anniversary, we’re going to Paris!

The 2025 Annual Meeting of the Society for the Neuroscience Society will take place in Paris, France on May 22-23, 2025 at the Paris Brain Institute (ICM).

SfNC 2025’s theme, Creativity & Changing Brains, will investigate how creativity both drives and is driven by changes in the brain, whether those changes occur in clinical, developmental, or everyday contexts.

This theme is inspired by the history of our venue - Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital (at the Paris Brain Institute) is the location where Paul Broca’s studies of brain lesions led to his discovery of the seat of language production in the human brain and laid the groundwork for modern neuropsychology and cognitive neuroscience.

Abstract Submissions

The window for abstract submissions for talks and posters will be from December 2nd, 2024 - January 15th, 2025, and acceptance decisions will be sent out by the first week of February 2025*.

Abstract submissions will be available to SfNC members through our new member website, which will be made available in the coming weeks. Individuals must be an SfNC member to submit an abstract. P.I.s may submit abstracts on behalf of their students, though all individuals must be an SfNC member to attend the conference if accepted.

*Note for individuals planning to attend the conference from outside the EU:

We will be able to provide advance decisions on submitted abstracts due to travel, funding, and visa planning requirements by request. If you require advance notice, please indicate so in your submission form.
