NEUROSCIENCES INDIA
GROUP
Established in the new millenium,
Neurosciences India Group is a virtual grouping
of enthusiastic neuroscience professionals.
Our's is a unique "Triple E mission"
in the neurosciences arena. Through our courses,
workshops, symposia and conferences we are continually
striving to
- Empower through Education
- Enable Research Development
- Enhance Research Policy .
Neurosciences India Group
began its activity in 2000 Since then our annual
February workshops have become a landmark event
in the neurosciences calendar. Movement Disorders
(2002), Dementia (2003) and Stroke (2004) were
some important disorders covered in this way.
From 2005 to 2007 we matured into Annual Courses
in Clinical Neurosciences, addressing the transition
between laboratory and clinic, in many important
neuroscience disciplines. Along this pathway
of progression, the nature and scope of our
programs also increased. We now offer an average
of six educational events per annum with an
international starcast of neuroscience leaders
from across the world serving as faculty resource
persons. The programs we organise include problem
and disease focussed symposia, research development
workshops and training courses.
In 2007 we entered the arena
of health policy development collaborating with
the Indian Epilepsy Association, Indian Epilepsy
Society and the International League Against
Epilepsy top develop and take forward the area
of Epilepsy and Disability. These deliberations
cumulated in the H.C. Bajoria oration delivered
by Dr. E.S. Krishnamoorthy at the Indian Epilepsy
Association's Annual congress held in New Delhi,
October 2008. They were also published in the
prestigious broad sheet The Hindu on the even
of National Epilepsy Day, 17th November 2008.
Another milestone was achieved when NSIG organized
for the first time, in collaboration with the
National Brain Research Center in Manesar, a
national workshop on the Aging Mind & Brain,
15th and 16th February 2008.
