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:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“A country grows in history not only because of the heroism of its troops on the field of battle, it grows also when it turns to justice and to right for the conservation of its interests.”
—Aristide Briand (1862–1932)
“The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.”
—Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924)
