Assistant Professor Thomas McWilliams selected as a 2021 FENS-Kavli Scholar
The multidisciplinary, international network aims to improve and strengthen neuroscience in Europe and beyond through scientific exchange, advocacy, and outreach.
Assistant Professor Thomas McWilliams has been selected to join the new 2021 cohort of FENS-Kavli Scholars: a group of outstanding early-career neuroscience investigators based in Europe. The scholars are chosen as part of a competitive process for their scientific excellence and for motivation to improve European neuroscience.
The FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence (FKNE) was established in 2014, and its alumni include renowned researchers in neuroscience. These 15 new scholars represent 10 countries in Europe and they will join the 2018 cohort, forming a network of 30 Scholars in total. The FKNE is made possible by both FENS and the Kavli Foundation. FENS (the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies) is the pre-eminent body for neuroscience in Europe, representing over 23,000 researchers. The Kavli Foundation is a US-based philanthropic organization which has been a catalyst and champion for breakthrough discovery science.
