The 29th Annual Meeting of KSBNS. The Korean Society for Brain and Neural Sciences. September 6(Sun) - 8(Tue), 2026. Daejeon Convention Center, Daejeon, Korea.

Scitech Korea Best Oral Presentation Awards

The Scitech Korea Best Oral Presentation Awards, sponsored by Scitech Korea Inc., were established in 2025 to encourage the next generation of neuroscientists who are contributing to the advancement of neuroscience research or demonstrating outstanding scientific achievements.

Supporting early-career scientists is one of the core values of the Korean Society for Brain and Neural Sciences (KSBNS). We believe that providing young researchers with opportunities to present their work, exchange ideas, and engage with the broader scientific community is essential for the continued growth and innovation of neuroscience.

Through this award program, KSBNS aims to recognize promising young investigators and provide them with a platform to share their research with an international audience. The Scitech Korea Best Oral Presentation Awards represent our strong commitment to fostering scientific excellence and nurturing the next generation of leaders in neuroscience.
