Young Swiss Society for Neuroscience 

Our Mission

The primary mission of the ySSN is to create a dynamic scientific network for the young neuroscience community in Switzerland.

To attain this goal, we organize events throughout the year which serve as a platform for young neuroscientists to increase their visibility and audience.​ We provide environments where early-career researchers can develop professional skills to aid their success in research. Specifically, we aim to: 

  • Increase knowledge transfer between trainees, laboratories, and institutions.

  • Build effective communication skills to engage the audience in thinking and discussing the research of early-career neuroscientists.

  • Create a diverse network that works together to train and promote outstanding future neuroscientists.
