2026 Registration
Registration for AWCBR 2026 opens on the 1 May 2026. We are pleased to offer a structured registration fee schedule, with early bird rates available for both student and non-student participants.
We are also delighted to share that AWCBR has secured funding from the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand (NFNZ) to assist with the costs for students and early career researchers (ECRs) who present at the conference. This support underscores our commitment to fostering emerging talent within the neurobiological research community. Please note, the exact amount of funding available will be determined after the registration period concludes. We will provide additional communication in due course. We encourage participants to take advantage of these opportunities and look forward to an engaging and productive meeting.
