The GNC organise Research Symposia and Seminars throughout the year where Local, national and international researchers give presentations on their latest research findings. In addition, GNC members have organised and hosted a large number of international conferences at the University of Galway which have attracted significant numbers of international students and researchers. For example, GNC members organised the International Behavioral and Neural Genetics Society (IBANGS) meeting Genes, Brain and Behavior at the University of Galway from the 22nd-24th May 2023 (see here  for details).

Such symposia and seminars are important for showcasing the excellent research conducted by the GNC members and facilitate the development of collaborations and networks.
