A platform built on open neuroscience dialogue.

No Garland Neuroscience is designed as a student-first platform where participants can present their work, receive constructive feedback, and refine their ideas through direct discussion with peers, postdocs, and faculty mentors. NGN 2026 is hosted jointly by NABI and IISER Mohali.

  • Cross-stage participation from students, postdocs, faculty, and interdisciplinary collaborators.
  • Session design centered on discussion, feedback, and practical exchange rather than formal ceremony.
  • Strong emphasis on networking, mentoring, and long-term collaborations across Indian neuroscience groups.

The history of No Garland Neuroscience

No Garland Neuroscience (NGN) started in 2017 as a scientist-first conference format that prioritized real scientific discussion, openness, and mentorship over ceremonial structure. Across editions, NGN has become a platform where students, postdocs, and faculty engage deeply through talks, posters, and collaborative conversations.

  • Built to support early-career researchers with thoughtful feedback and visibility.
  • Designed to connect neuroscience groups across India through direct interaction.
  • Focused on strong science, accessible mentoring, and long-term collaboration building.
