For the first four days the program includes lectures, poster sessions and informal discussions, all of which takes place in
Crêt-Bérard.
On Friday and Saturday, September 12-13th, the PENS Students join the Lemanic Neuroscience Annual Meeting in Les Diablerets. They present their posters and have the oportunity to interact with more than 150 local scientists.
During the second and third week students perform short research projects in some of the 31 PENS Labs.
