The Institute of Biomedical Engineering is pleased to announce the inaugural Symposium of the Neuroscience Technology Network. This Imperial-wide network facilitates greater inter-disciplinary collaboration between researchers of neuroscience and those developing technologies in this field.
Join us for a stimulating programme of interactive presentations. This will be an excellent opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with colleagues from across the College.
Registration: This event is restricted Imperial College London staff and students only. The event is free of charge but places are limited. For more information and a registration form, please visit:
