History
The FENS was founded in 1998 to coordinate and present, at the European level, the research of members of national and international European neuroscience societies created in the previous 25 years. It succeeded the European Neuroscience Association, an earlier attempt to federate individual European scientists. FENS federates existing societies which today number 35, and whose membership totals around 18,000 scientists.
