This 2-day conference is focused on hippocampal physiology, network dynamics, and the phenomenon of replay in freely behaving animal models.
The first edition took place on June 10-11, 2024 in the heart of London, at the Sainsbury Wellcome Center.
Do you want to host the next Hippocampus Green Meeting?
Following our first Hippocampus Green Meeting in London, we are aiming to move the meeting to a new city every two years, forming a new scientific committee to act as local organisers. If you would like to join our next scientific committee, and host our next meeting (spring 2026), please email a short response (1 side A4 max) to the following questions to hippocampus.meetingATgmail.com
1. Where will the meeting take place (city and venue).
2. How will you make the meeting green
3. what what will be the meeting format- duration of talks, posters, etc.
4. suggested keynote speakers
5. what is the estimated cost per person (student/postdoc/faculty)
6. what is the target number of attendees
7. how will you support early career scientists (grad students to early-career faculty)
8. how will you decide which abstracts are selected
9. anything additional you would like to mention…
Responses are due by Feb 1st 2025 and a decision will be announced in the spring 2025.
We thank all the future candidates for contributing to the continuation of this event.
