Edinburgh Neuroscience has more than 500 fundamental, clinical and psychology researchers and is widely recognised for its extensive integration of outstanding clinical, biomedical, informatics and psychology research.

Edinburgh Neuroscience is supported and led by the members of the Edinburgh Neuroscience Board, which includes IGC representation in Edinburgh Neuroscience co-director Professor Cathy Abbott.

Edinburgh Neuroscience creates a dynamic and collegiate research environment by supporting our researchers and students via a range of activities:

• Providing an efficient communications hub and central point of contact (website, weekly email digests, social media)
• Organising whole community, as well as cross-disciplinary themed, meetings and networking opportunities (e.g. Neuroscience Day)
• Running cross-disciplinary training opportunities for PhD students (e.g. Autumn School for PhD Students)
• Coordinating an extensive outreach programme for schools and the public
• Working with academics to submit strategic grants
• Coordinating the Wellcome Trust PhD Programme in Translational Neuroscience
• Administering funding schemes to support students, early years and established researchers (e.g. Neuroresearchers Fund, RS MacDonald Seedcorn Fund)
• Being there for our research community to help them conceptualise, develop and fulfil their ideas.
