Welcome back, neuroscience enthusiasts! Join us for an exciting new academic year!

The Institute Board has decided to entrust me with the management of NeuroMarseille. A new management team is in place, with 4 Deputy Directors. Anne Kavounoudias (CRPN) is continuing her work in Training and is in charge of NeuroSchool. Olivier Manzoni (INMED) will be in charge of Research. This team is expanding to meet the new challenges facing the Institutes: Fabrice Bartolomei (INS and Clinical Neuroscience Unit) and Valérie Crépel will be bringing their experience to bear on Clinical Research and Innovation.

News from our DESUs

Neuroschool masters and PhD students enrolled in our Diplôme d'études supérieures universitaires (DESU) Techniques de communication scientifique or in our DESU Data science have been training for several weeks now.

In partnership with EJCAM, students in the DESU Techniques de communication scientifique are working on media training, interviews and post-production editing (our picture)... Will they become journalists?

In parallel, students in the DESU Data science appliquée aux neurosciences develop their skills in extracting meaning from noisy and complex data. What a challenge!

Join the Neuronautes!

Join our students' society on the Saint-Charles campus (also on the Timone campus this Thursday for NeuroMarseille Day !) and very soon for an information meeting if you'd like to join our team this year.

All the information about our upcoming events (and the integration party 😉 ) is on our social networks.

Share job advice on our NeuroCommunity

In your opinion, what are THE most sought-after scientific skills on the job market today?
To this question, the majority of our graduates answered data analysis. So if there is ONE skill to focus on, go for this one, for instance through our DESU Data science. Luckily, NeuroSchool students can also learn about project management, scientific communication and English, in addition to neuroscience.

Do you have some or all of these skills? Which other would you add to this list? Join the NeuroCommunity: the network of NeuroMarseille*NeuroSchool members and alumni and share your ideas, your needs, your job offers, your collaborations, your calls for help, your advice, and so on!
