RIKEN CBS Summer Program 2026

RIKEN CBS Summer Program 2026 is currently calling for application!

The program is designed to encourage and further the education of young neuroscientists and emerging researchers as they enter the international neuroscience community.
Applicants may choose either a two-month laboratory internship (Plan A) within a RIKEN CBS laboratory, or an intensive 5-day lecture course (Plan B) featuring a distinguished international faculty. Those participating in the internship may also enroll in the lecture course.

This year we will focus on the theme” Development and Disorders: Genes, Networks, and Behavior Across Life” which will explore the fundamental principles underlying children’s brain development and neuropsychiatric disorders. We will cover diverse yet essential topics, including genetic and synaptic mechanisms, network dynamics, and developmental psychology. Additionally, the program will highlight translational studies that demonstrate how basic research can improve clinical practice.
