Young Swiss Society for Neuroscience
8th Annual
Early-Career Researchers Symposium 2026
Fribourg, Switzerland
September 9th 2026
Université de Fribourg - Campus de Pérolles PER 21, Bd de Pérolles 90, 1700 Fribourg
Join us at ERS 2026, ySSN's annual symposium bringing together early-career researchers from across Switzerland to share cutting-edge neuroscience, foster scientific exchange, and build a vibrant research community. Discover exciting new research, engage in stimulating discussions, and connect with peers and leading scientists shaping the future of neuroscience.
Travel Grants
To help make ERS 2026 accessible to everyone, ySSN will offer a limited number of travel grants for participants travelling from within Switzerland. If travel costs would otherwise prevent you from attending, we strongly encourage you to apply. We want researchers from all corners of the country to have the opportunity to share their work, connect with the Swiss neuroscience community, and make the most of the symposium.
