Our eponym JÁNOS SZENTÁGOTHAI, born in 1912, was a prominent neurobiologist who was the president of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He is one of the pioneers of 20th century brain research – in particular he discovered and described the micro-anatomical structure and physiological functioning of the cortical module. In the year 2012 we proudly celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of János Szentágothai, honoring his memory by walking in his steps on the path leading to a fuller understanding of the human being - ourselves.
Main aims of the conference:
1. debut opportunity for BSc, MSc and PhD students
2. provide a field for non-native speakers
3. improving language skills
