The Board for the Advancement of Women (BAW) announces a new mentoring and training scheme for female researchers.
Werner Reichhardt Centre for Integrative Neuroscience
The Werner Reichardt Centre for Neuroscience is a Cluster of Excellence focusing upon neurosciences, established at the University of Tübingen in the framework of the Excellence Initiatives funded by the German federal and state governments.

The scientific programme of the CIN is guided by the conviction that progress in the understanding of brain function can only be achieved by an integrative approach provided by researchers from many different fields such as Computer and Cognitive Sciences, Biology, Medicine and Physics as well as the Humanities, that combines knowledge at multiple levels of organization.
Neuroscience Campus
From April 2012, the CIN has a new home - a 'neuroscience campus' situated next to the HIH (Hertie-Institute for Clinical Brain Research) Building by the University of Tübingen medical school. The new building accommodates most of the new CIN groups (five professorships and thirteen junior groups) as well as an extension of the HIH. It offers some 3500 m2 of laboratory and office space together with state-of-the-art facilities for animal husbandry. A new Imaging Centre with a new high-field MRI scanner for the CIN is to be established next to the clinic, within convenient walking distance of the CIN Building.
The building has been realized thanks to funds from the federal state, the state of Baden-Württemberg, the University of Tübingen, and the University of Tübingen Faculty of Medicine.
NIPS-CIN Collaboration
The CIN has signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Institute of Physiological Sciences (NIPS) in Okasaki, Japan. The aim is to foster scientific cooperation and joint funding applications. More information about NIPS can be found by going here.
