Registrations and Abstract Submissions Opening Jan 2021
The Australasian Brain Stimulation Society is proud to invite you to ABSS2021 in Brisbane, July 12-13th. This conference will be held at The Queensland Brain Institute, a state-of-the-art neuroscience hub within the beautiful surrounds of the University of Queensland St Lucia campus.
The event will feature international and national keynote speakers, symposia and talks by brain stimulation researchers and clinicians, and most importantly, the opportunity to develop and extend collaborative links. There will also be awards provided to the best presentations, and a social event following the first day of proceedings, which will be held at St Lucy Caffe e Cucina, a restaurant located on the grounds of the St Lucia campus.
Please Note: ABSS2021 seeks to provide a conference environment that will be accessible for registrants irrespective of travel restrictions and personal circumstances. As such, we plan on providing a conference that provides access to the latest brain stimulation research, whether you attend in-person or remotely. If travel restrictions mean that a face-to-face option is not possible, these sessions will be accessible in a purely virtual environment. More details on the format of ABSS2021 will be provided later, and may change as circumstances change.
Event Code of Conduct
ABSS is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable event experience for all participants, and a welcoming environment for free discussion of ideas. We do not tolerate harassment of event participants in any form. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any related concerns, please immediately contact anyone on the ABSS Committee
