Message from the President

Dear Members, it is my pleasure to announce the launch of our new website. Our objective is to provide EBPS members with more functionality within an easy-to-navigate platform. The new visual identity complements EBPS' mission to be recognized as an international society at the crossroads of pharmacology, experimental psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience.

Some of you might have noticed that the heading of the new website includes a detail from a painting by Jane Stewart, who, after an outstanding career in behavioural neuroscience (she received the EBPS Distinguished Achievement Award in 2005), is now a full-time artist janestewartpainting.com.

I am also pleased to inform you that at the close of 2011 our Society is still strong under both a scientific and a financial point of view. This will allow us to continue attracting young neuroscientists and to provide the most deserving of them with financial support to attend our meetings.

To ensure that EBPS remains strong in the coming year, it is critical that you renew your membership for 2012. Membership in EBPS will provide you with a number of benefits, including automatic membership in FENS, the possibility to register at reduced fees to the EBPS workshop on Eating Behaviour and Obesity and to the 8th FENS Forum in Barcelona, as well as free online access to Behavioural Pharmacology and to the European Journal of Neuroscience.

Do not wait, register now!

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I wish you a happy and prosperous 2012!

Aldo Badiani
