About the Kavli Internal Symposia:
Following two successful years of the Kavli Internal Seminar Series, the Kavli NSI Fellows are rebranding it as Kavli Internal Symposia for 2025. This new format will include talks from Kavli NSI heads of labs, students, and postdocs. Additionally, we are extending our invitation to external fellows from other Kavli Neuroscience Institutes. The goals of the symposium series are threefold: 1) to provide opportunities for students and postdocs to present their work and get feedback from the community, 2) to foster communication and collaboration across labs, and 3) to facilitate cross-institute communication and collaboration.
