The second annual Art of Neuroscience competition follows in the footsteps of other events, such as Nikon's small world and Princeton's Art of Science competitions. Our event brings art straight from Dutch neuroscience labs. Each year we participate in the Brain Awareness Week campaign (BAW). BAW is a global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research.

This year's registration was open to submission by all faculty, staff and students of ONWAR affiliated institutes

This event was initiated, organized and implemented by T.M. Hoogland (NIN) with support from H. van Oers (KNAW), M. vd Putten (KNAW), J. Cheyne (NIN), C.I. De Zeeuw (NIN, ErasmusMC), M. Timmerman (NIN), H. Stoffels (NIN) and B. Leopold (ToinkWorld).
