Missions
As a Federation, its purposes are
- to promote coordination between its member societies in order to develop neuroscience research in their respective countries and disciplines
- to facilitate interaction between neuroscientists from all over the world, particularly Europe, by holding scientific meetings
- to facilitate the diffusion of scientific information by the publication of a scientific journal (European Journal of Neuroscience) and other electronic communications
- to support the education and training of young researchers in neuroscience by delivering information, organising schools and other training programmes, and providing grants for young scientists
- to promote public understanding and engagement in neuroscience and to advise decision-makers on the results and implications of neuroscience research

Famous quotes containing the word missions:
“There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one’s own safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind.... Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t want to he was sane and had to.”
—Joseph Heller (b. 1923)
