About Us

The Society for Neuroscience Hungary (SfN Hungary) serves as the official Hungarian branch of the global Society for Neuroscience (SfN), the world’s largest organization dedicated to advancing the understanding of the brain and nervous system, encompassing over 30,000 members worldwide.

Co-founded by the leadership and members of the Hungarian Neuroscience Society (MITT), distinguished basic and clinical researchers, and early-career scientists, SfN Hungary bridges Hungary's rich neuroscience research with the global scientific community.

Our Core Goals

  • Strengthen Transatlantic & Global Scientific Links: We leverage SfN’s international platform to facilitate bilateral cooperation between Hungarian brain researchers, North American institutions, and global scientific centers.

  • Bridge Basic Science and Clinical Practice: We promote an interdisciplinary, translational approach, connecting molecular discovery to clinical application across systems neuroscience, neurogenomics, neuroinflammation, computational modeling, and neurology.

  • Empower Early-Career Researchers: We actively engage undergraduate, MSc, PhD, and medical students through bottom-up leadership, accredited training workshops, and community initiatives.

  • Disseminate Public Knowledge & Science Communication: We bring neuroscience closer to the public through educational symposiums, interactive exhibitions, and creative integrations of science and the arts.
