University of Edinburgh

The 21st Annual Genes, Brain & Behavior Meeting will be held in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 10-14, 2019. The meeting will be hosted by the University of Edinburgh which was established in 1553 and boasts alumni such as Charles Darwin, Alexander Graham Bell, and Arthur Conan Doyle. The university is central to the city of Edinburgh which is Scotland's capital. It has a medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town with gardens and neoclassical buildings. Looming over the city is Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny, used in the coronation of Scottish rulers. Arthur’s Seat is an imposing peak in Holyrood Park with sweeping views, and Calton Hill is topped with monuments and memorials.

Please join us for exciting scientific lectures, research presentations, workshops, as well as opportunities to share your work with fellow scientists. More information will be posted regularly in the coming weeks. Download the meeting flyer
