Dr. Panos Zanos, the Director of the Translational Neuropharmacology Lab, proudly announces the establishment of the Cyprus Neuroscience Society (C.N.S.)—a pioneering achievement for the neuroscience-related scientific community in Cyprus. Together with 20 founding members representing various neuroscience disciplines, the founding Director of the Society, Dr. Zanos collaborates with leading neuroscientists across the country to cultivate a deeper understanding of Neuroscience and its applicationsAs the founding Director of the Society, Dr. Zanos collaborates with leading neuroscientists across the country to cultivate a deeper understanding of Neuroscience and its applications.
The CNS is a non-governmental, non-profit organization based in Nicosia, Cyprus, dedicated to advancing Neuroscience education, research, and public awareness. This Society aims to position Cyprus as a hub for neuroscience excellence, fostering both local and international collaboration.
Key Objectives of the Cyprus Neuroscience Society:
- Advancing Neuroscience Research: Supporting innovative studies that delve into the complexities of the nervous system, from molecular mechanisms to behavioral outcomes.
- Enhancing Neuroscience Education: Promoting neuroscience literacy through seminars, workshops, and reliable scientific communication tailored to students, professionals, and the general public.
- Raising Public Awareness: Engaging the community in understanding the implications of neuroscience research for health, disease, and daily life, while advocating evidence-based practices.
- Global Neuroscience Representation: Acting as a bridge between Cyprus and the international neuroscience community by participating in global conferences and initiatives.
- Empowering Neuroscientists in Cyprus: Providing resources, recognition, and networking opportunities for members to flourish in their professional efforts.
The Society also plans to organize scientific conferences/meetings, foster collaborations among neuroscientists, and publish findings that highlight the significance of Neuroscience advancements in Cyprus and beyond. Its emblem, a neuron encircled by the founding year “2024,” represents the Society’s mission to unify and elevate Neuroscience research in Cyprus.
This is an exciting milestone for Neuroscience in Cyprus, laying the foundation for collaborative efforts to unravel the mysteries of the brain and nervous system.
