Towards a European forum for the neurosciences.
In 1994, TINS published a brief analysis of the problems faced by the European neuroscience community in its attempt to meet the challenges associated with the proclamation of the European 'Decade of the Brain'. Since then numerous initiatives have been taken by national and European neuroscience societies with the common goals of improving communication among European neuroscientists, increasing the visibility of the neurosciences as an autonomous and increasingly important domain of research in the appreciation of national and European granting bodies, and facilitating integration of colleagues from Eastern Europe into the international scientific community. These initiatives have led to major changes in the organization and self-apprehension of national and European neuroscience societies.
