European Neuroscience Conference by Doctoral Students

This is a FENS satellite event created by PhD students, for PhD students. It is designed to inspire, connect, and uplift the next generation of neuroscientists.

Next year, ENCODS will take place in the vibrant city of Barcelona under the theme “Brain in Context”, highlighting how interacting factors, from molecules to experience, shape brain development and function, uniting diverse fields to reveal the brain’s story in full context.

The goal is simple:

• To bring young neuroscientists from various fields together,
• Spark meaningful scientific conversations,
• Build connections that last beyond the conference, and
• Create a space where everyone feels free, welcome, supported, and inspired.

Across the two interactive days, participants will experience a blend of talks, posters, hands-on workshops, mentoring, and fun social moments that make it easy to meet fellow scientists, share ideas, and grow both scientifically and personally.
