Federation of European Neuroscience Societies - History

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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    ... that there is no other way,
    That the history of creation proceeds according to
    Stringent laws, and that things
    Do get done in this way, but never the things
    We set out to accomplish and wanted so desperately
    To see come into being.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    History takes time.... History makes memory.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
