Brain mapping — the systematic effort to chart the structure, connectivity, molecular composition and function of the nervous system across spatial scales — stands as one of the defining scientific endeavours of our era. The 2026 Sino-Swiss Symposium on Brain Mapping is designed to bring together leading researchers from China and Switzerland for three days of scientific exchange, laboratory visits in Lausanne and Geneva, platform demonstrations, and strategic discussions on collaborative infrastructure.
On July 1, a symposium held at DNF-UNIL in Lausanne will host talks by Chinese and NeuroLéman researchers on the multiverse of brain imaging tools and applications from micro- to macroscale.
On July 2 & 3, extended discussions around the symposium topics and beyond, as well as lab and platform visits in Lausanne and Geneva will provide more room for encounters and finding symbioses. The detailed program of these days will be available in due time.
In case you are interested to join the discussions on July 2 &3, please write to ron.stoop AT unil.ch.
Attendance to the symposium (July 1) is free of charge, but please register HERE before June 25 to ease our logistics.
