Unlike any other 

Neuroscience is accelerating the pace of change, placing extraordinary demands on investigators. Thriving in today’s neuroscience requires a heightened awareness of emerging knowledge, discarding outdated notions, and fully appreciating the latest trends. 

To this end, the Neuroscience School of Advanced Studies, in a proven, unique format of high-impact learning experiences, takes neuroscientists of all levels outside the comfort zone of their own expertise, empowering them with new analytical and strategic skills across basic and clinical neuroscience.

Learning from the absolute thought leaders will provide you with a tremendous reserve of strategic thinking to be put to immediate use as well as mobilised as contingencies demand. Most importantly, it will gain you a place within an elite global network of neuroscientists. Advanced Courses and Masterclasses are hosted in venues specifically selected for their exceptional scenery. 

Advanced Neuroscience Courses

Week-long Advanced Neuroscience Courses are open to scientists of all levels, from graduate students to full professors, and are held in Venice, on the Island of San Servolo, with the stunning backdrop of one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Executive Masterclasses

At the Executive Masterclasses, scholars embark on a journey of professional development of their leadership roles at the academic and corporate levels. Through a deep understanding of complex institutional dynamics, participants acquire the ability to navigate intricate challenges of today’s uncertain global environment.

Strategic Intelligence

The Strategic Intelligence platform is conceived as an intellectual crucible, dedicated to assembling the vanguard of neuroscience to address the most seminal challenges and unexplored frontiers. Convening distinguished senior researchers and world leaders in a unique, collaborative environment designed to transcend the traditional boundaries of academic research, the activities are comprised of:

The Think Tank

Challenge Workshops

The Neuroscience Summit

and are designed with the specific goal of fostering a dynamic confluence of ideas, leveraging collective expertise to catalyse paradigm shifts in our understanding of the nervous system. Find out more.
