Lectures of Excellence
The "Lectures of Excellence: Pioneers in Neurosciences" is an annual event that invites excellent scientists of significant discoveries in the field of neuroscience to provide insights into their research. These include, above all, Nobel Prize winners, Leibniz Prize winners or winners of other excellent awards.
The lectures are addressed to scientists, physicians and junior scientists working in the field of neuroscience. By presenting their own experiences, excellent lecturers will awake the interest for innovative solutions and alternative ways of thinking. The audience will get in close contact with interesting personalities and their groundbreaking research.
Organiser of the Lecture Serie is the Centre for Transdisciplinary Neurosciences Rostock.
Lecture of Excellence 2019: Prof. Dr. Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard (20 March 2019)
Lecture of Excellence 2022: Professor Dr. Hans R. Schöler (24 August 2022)
CTNR Summer Schools
The CTNR Summer School is a platform for the get-to-know and networking of senior and young scientists from Rostock in the field of Neurosciences. Researchers of CTNR working groups are trained in soft skill courses and presenting the current state-of-the-art, their methodologies, applications and on-site technologies. They get the possibility to find partners for future joint projects, initiatives and exiting research challenges. The Summer School will provide networking tools by oral and poster presentations, discussions and scientific network activities.
