The Postgraduate Programme in Brain & Mind Sciences is launching a new online seminar series for the 2025–2026 academic year, entitled “Alumni of the BRAIN and MIND Sciences Seminar Series.”
This initiative aims to highlight the achievements of our graduates by showcasing their research and professional
paths, providing insight into the diverse career opportunities available after completing the MSc in Brain & Mind
Sciences, and fostering connections among alumni, current students, and members of the Hellenic neuroscience
community.
In addition, the series seeks to offer an accessible platform for learning about current research in Systems,
Computational, and Cognitive Neuroscience, fields that remain underrepresented in Greece.
Speakers will include alumni at various stages of their careers, from doctoral candidates to postdoctoral researchers and independent investigators, who will present their research topics and ongoing scientific work.
The seminar dates for the 2025–2026 academic year are as follows: November 20 and December 18, 2025; and January 22, February 19, March 19, April 23, May 21, June 18, and July 16, 2026, all at 14:00.
About the MSc in Brain & Mind Sciences
The Postgraduate Programme in Brain and Mind Sciences (B&M) is an inter-institutional, interdisciplinary program
organized and operated by the University of Crete (UoC) in collaboration with the Foundation for Research and
Technology – Hellas (FORTH). The B&M Interdisciplinary Postgraduate Programme brings together the UoC Medical School and the Departments of Computer Science, Philosophy and Social Studies, Physics, and Psychology, along with the FORTH Institutes of Computer Science, Applied & Computational Mathematics, and Molecular Biology &
Biotechnology.
The B&M was the first postgraduate program in Europe to provide integrated education in Biological,
Computational, and Social Neurosciences for the study of the nervous system and its functions, serving as a model subsequently followed by other European neuroscience postgraduate programs.
Research within the program covers a wide range of fields, including Developmental Psychology, Neuropsychology, Brain Imaging, Neuroanatomy, Electron Microscopy, Neuroendocrinology, Neuropharmacology, Neurophilosophy, Neurophysiology, Neural Networks, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Neuroscience, and
Computational Vision.
Investigating the mechanisms of brain function and their relationship to behavior is an inherently interdisciplinary
endeavor that requires approaches from the biological, social, and physical sciences. The B&M program promotes an integrated, cross-disciplinary perspective on fundamental scientific questions concerning the brain and the
emergence of thought, consciousness, and behavior, providing a unique platform that bridges Biological,
Computational, and Social Neurosciences.
Established in 2003, the B&M was the first inter-institutional, interdisciplinary postgraduate program to operate in Greece. It is accredited by the Hellenic Authority for Higher Education.
