The Neuroscience Network of the Lake Geneva Region
The NeuroLéman Network – established in Spring 2018 – is a non-profit association since 2024. It serves as a unifying force for neuroscientists and clinicians across the Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) region. Our members, comprising faculty members and group leaders from EPFL, the Universities of Lausanne (UNIL), Geneva (UNIGE), Fribourg (UNIFR), as well as of the University Hospitals of Lausanne (CHUV) and Geneva (HUG), represent diverse fields such as neurobiology, neuroengineering, neurocomputation, neurology, psychiatry, and psychology.
Our primary objective is to cultivate a vibrant community of scientists and clinicians dedicated to advancing neuroscience and neurotechnology in the Lake Geneva region. With a focus on both basic, translational and clinical neuroscience, we strive to promote interdisciplinary collaboration and innovation to enhance our understanding of brain function in health and disease, and ultimately bringing new therapies to patients.
Central to our mission is the creation of a collaborative environment that fosters the open exchange of research and ideas. Through our network, we aim to facilitate new collaborations and serve as a catalyst for scientific progress.
Moreover, we are committed to nurturing the next generation of neuroscientists by promoting excellence in education and providing numerous opportunities for training and scientific exchange. We support three neuroscience doctoral programs (EDNE , EDBB and LNDS) and our members are strongly engaged in the organization of national and international workshops and symposia, to facilitate learning and networking.
In addition, we host an annual meeting (NLN) in collaboration with our doctoral programs, bringing together doctoral students and researchers from all our neuroscience institutions in the region. This event serves as a platform for sharing research findings, fostering collaborations, and strengthening the ties within our neuroscience community.
