We warmly welcome you to the BNA Members’ Meeting 2024, taking place online on 24th and 25th April 2024. This is a meeting by members for members; an opportunity to get together to discuss your research and – especially – your plans for future work.

Bring your ideas, challenges, thoughts, problems and solutions, so that, as a community, we can do the very best neuroscience!


Session submissions

We are now inviting BNA members to submit proposals for sessions at the Members’ Meeting and especially encourage applications from student and early career members, including talks that are about plans for research, not just results; and aim to create a programme with diversity of geography, gender, topics, ethnicity and career stages.

Submissions are open from Monday 20th November 2023 – Friday 19th January 2024. 

We welcome submissions for the following session types:

Rapid Fire (10 x session slots):
