Alumni of the BRAIN and MIND Sciences Seminar Series
The Postgraduate Programme in Brain & Mind Sciences is launching a new =
online seminar series for the 2025=E2=80=932026 academic year, entitled =
=E2=80=9CAlumni of the BRAIN and MIND Sciences Seminar Series.=E2=80=9D
This initiative aims to highlight the achievements of our graduates by =
showcasing their research and professional paths, providing insight into =
the diverse career opportunities available after completing the MSc in =
Brain & Mind Sciences, and fostering connections among alumni, current =
students, and members of the Hellenic neuroscience community.
In addition, the series seeks to offer an accessible platform for =
learning about current research in Systems, Computational, and Cognitive =
Neuroscience, fields that remain underrepresented in Greece.
Speakers will include alumni at various stages of their careers, from =
doctoral candidates to postdoctoral researchers and independent =
investigators, who will present their research topics and ongoing =
scientific work.
The seminar dates for the 2025=E2=80=932026 academic year are as =
follows: November 20 and December 18, 2025; and January 22, February 19, =
March 19, April 23, May 21, June 18, and July 16, 2026, all at 14:00.

About the MSc in Brain & Mind Sciences
The Postgraduate Programme in Brain and Mind Sciences (B&M) is an =
inter-institutional, interdisciplinary program organized and operated by =
the University of Crete (UoC) in collaboration with the Foundation for =
Research and Technology =E2=80=93 Hellas (FORTH). The B&M =
Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Programme brings together the UoC Medical =
School and the Departments of Computer Science, Philosophy and Social =
Studies, Physics, and Psychology, along with the FORTH Institutes of =
Computer Science, Applied & Computational Mathematics, and Molecular =
Biology & Biotechnology.
The B&M was the first postgraduate program in Europe to provide =
integrated education in Biological, Computational, and Social =
Neurosciences for the study of the nervous system and its functions, =
serving as a model subsequently followed by other European neuroscience =
postgraduate programs.
Research within the program covers a wide range of fields, including =
Developmental Psychology, Neuropsychology, Brain Imaging, Neuroanatomy, =
Electron Microscopy, Neuroendocrinology, Neuropharmacology, =
Neurophilosophy, Neurophysiology, Neural Networks, Robotics, Artificial =
Intelligence, Computational Neuroscience, and Computational Vision.
Investigating the mechanisms of brain function and their relationship to =
behavior is an inherently interdisciplinary endeavor that requires =
approaches from the biological, social, and physical sciences. The B&M =
program promotes an integrated, cross-disciplinary perspective on =
fundamental scientific questions concerning the brain and the emergence =
of thought, consciousness, and behavior, providing a unique platform =
that bridges Biological, Computational, and Social Neurosciences.
Established in 2003, the B&M was the first inter-institutional, =
interdisciplinary postgraduate program to operate in Greece. It is =
accredited by the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education.
