Thank you for joining us at Neuroscience Finland 2025, held on December 3–4, 2025 at Tieteiden talo (Kirkkokatu 6, Helsinki).
The event gave neuroscientists at all career stages the opportunity to present their research and to enable networking within Finland. We had over 135 registered participants — a number that positively surprised us. Unfortunately, we were unable to take more participants given the limitations of the venue. Next time we will do our best to accommodate all interested participants.
The event was a great success with amazing presentations given by young researchers that truly showed the high quality of neuroscience research being done in Finland. Thank you to all presenters and attendees! Big thanks also to the organising committee and sponsors, without whom none of this would have been possible.
