NeNa (Neurowissenschaftliche Nachwuchskonferenz) is an annual junior neuroscientists conference organized by doctoral students from the vibrant neuroscience community of Tübingen.
About NeNa
We aim to accommodate broad interests including cellular, molecular, behavioral, cognitive, and theoretical neuroscience. NeNa provides young scientists from Tübingen and elsewhere with a low-threshold opportunity to present their work in posters and talks, discuss it with their peers as well as with the leading scientists we invite each year as keynote speakers.

Keynote speakers
Sofie Valk
Sofie Valk is a Lise Meitner research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany and research group leader at Research Center Jülich, in Jülich, Germany. Sofie is interested in understanding how our social world gets into our heads, or put more scientifically how our socio-cultural environments shape our brain structure and function across the lifespan and what this means for behaviour and mental health. She has studied artificial intelligence and social philosophy for her BSc at the University of Amsterdam, and Cognitive sciences as a MSc at the same university.
Ronald Sladky
Ronald Sladky is a senior cognitive neuroscientist at the University of Vienna, Austria. He is affiliated with Claus Lamm’s SCAN-Unit (Social, Cognitive, and Affective Neuroscience Unit) and helps manage the University of Vienna MR Center. Ronald has a background in computer science (B.Sc.), cognitive science (M.Sc.) and medical physics (PhD). During his postdoc fellowships, he specialized in fMRI methodology, brain connectivity, and software development. In his research, Ronald applies real-time fMRI as a method to investigate emotion regulation and social cognition in the human brain.
