Activities

For the period of 2015, WWN subcommittees developed and implemented numerous initiatives and activities. WWN expanded its global outreach efforts and received requests throughout the year from IBRO members wishing to become members of WWN. Our past “Mentoring Circle” and our mentoring event at FENS 2014 have steadily increased our membership. We also formed strategic partnerships with the Society for Neuroscience, the Federation of the American Society of Experimental Biology (FASEB), and the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS). 

In 2024, WWN has hosted or co-hosted numerous in-person and online events. For more information on Past WWN Events, click here.

WWN is driven to provide opportunity for networking and education on a continuous basis by organizing Future Events. More information here.
