Local Groups
The BNA wishes to represent as much of UK neuroscience as possible. In order to achieve this we have established a network of local group representatives, based at Institutes across the UK who are actively engaged in neuroscience research. This network of Local Group Reps acts as a conduit for information between the Local Group and the BNA.
A large number of BNA members have already agreed to act as Local Reps, some of whom are existing BNA Committee Members. Their contact details, as well as any links to appropriate web sites (e.g. departments, institutes) can be found below.
To find out more about the BNA Local Representative Scheme, how to use this scheme to gain sponsorship for your seminar series, how to nominate a neuroscientist for a BNA Award and how to advertise your neuroscience news to the BNA community then contact your local group representative (see Table of contacts below) with the necessary information.
If your Institution is not currently represented by a BNA Local Rep and you would like to appoint one then please contact Dr Trevor Bushell (pictured left, enjoying the outdoor life) at trevor.bushell@strath.ac.uk.
