Credits: For students (Master- and Ph.D.-level)
In addition to your registration to the symposium, you must register on MOnA/Online Services, spring semester FS 2024, for the symposium to apply for the credit point; To obtain 1 CP, you must write an extended report of one complete session (max 3 pages). For each talk you need to present: the research question, the methology, the main results, and conclude by explaining to what extend the results are supporting or not the working hypothesis.

Send the report per e-mail to neuro@unibas.ch. Please mark in the Betreff (subject) of your mail: Report Bench to Bedside 2024.
Deadline for the report is 31st March 2024.
