The first joint conference of the Research Centre Neurosensory Science with scientists from the University of Bremen on 1 October 2025 is now over and brought together almost 60 scientists from the two universities at the Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg. In addition to the exciting presentations, there were many stimulating discussions during the poster session and over lunch. We are delighted with the successful joint conference and hope that it will provide further impetus for strengthening cooperation between the two universities of Oldenburg and Bremen in the field of neurosensory research.
