The Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) is a European federation of scientific societies for basic scientists and physicians whose research is focused on the brain and nervous system (i.e., neuroscience).
History
The federation was founded in 1998 to coordinate and present at the European level the research of members of national and European neuroscience societies. It succeeded the European Neuroscience Association. FENS federates 44 member societies and 5 associate member societies, representing around 23,000 scientists.{{Cite web |title=FENS member societies |url=https://www.fens.org/membership/societies |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=Federation of European Neuroscience Societies |language=en}}{{cite web |title=FENS Member Societies |url=https://www.fens.org/Societies/FENS-Member-Societies/ |website=Homepage |publisher=FENS |accessdate=2010-01-10 |archive-date=2020-04-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200416185850/https://www.fens.org/Societies/FENS-Member-Societies/ |url-status=dead }}
Activities
FENS organises an international scientific meeting in even years, the FENS Forum of European Neuroscience. Every meeting takes place in a different European country hosted by its national neuroscience society.{{cite web |title=Past Forums |url=https://www.fens.org/Meetings/Forum/Past-Forums/ |website=Homepage |publisher=FENS |accessdate=2020-01-10}} In the odd years that no Forum meeting takes place, a FENS Regional Meeting is held.{{cite web |title=FENS Regional Meeting |url=https://www.fens.org/Meetings/FRM/ |website=Homepage |publisher=FENS |accessdate=2020-01-10}} In addition, twice yearly more specialised meetings are organized in collaboration with the Lundbeck Foundation, called The Brain Conferences.{{cite web |title=The Brain Conferences |url=https://www.fens.org/Meetings/The-Brain-Conferences/ |website=Homepage |publisher=FENS |accessdate=2020-01-10}}{{cite web|url=https://insidescientific.com/partner/federation-of-european-neuroscience-societies-fens/|title= Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) |website=Inside Scientific}}{{Cite journal |last=Abbott |first=Alison |date=2018-08-07 |title=Neuroscience societies join outcry over treatment of Max Planck neuroscientist |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-05907-2 |journal=Nature |language=en |doi=10.1038/d41586-018-05907-2|s2cid=158328866 }}
