The ABA has proposed the establishment of an Australian Brain Initiative (ABI), a transformative brain research agenda aimed at coordinating Australia’s existing brain researchers and scientists from other disciplines with the aim of ‘‘cracking the brain’s code.’’
The Australian Course in Advanced Neuroscience (ACAN) is an intensive three-week course that teaches the theory and practice of electrophysiological recording and optical imaging techniques.
The Australian Brain Bee Challenge (ABBC) is a competition for high school students in year 10 to learn about the brain and its functions, learn about neuroscience research, find out about careers in neuroscience and to dispel misconceptions about neurological and mental illnesses.
The E&D Committee is dedicated to promoting equity and balance of gender, culture, and ethnicity on ANS Committees and at our annual conference, and to removing obstacles to the advancement of underrepresented genders and minorities in neuroscience.

On behalf of ANS I am writing to inform you that the ANS 2020 conference in Perth has been cancelled. This was a challenging decision, made by the ANS Council after reviewing information from Governments and health authorities as well as institutions in Australia and New Zealand related to the current COVID-19 situation and the risk to the wider community stemming from the virus. We’ve also taken into account the concerns of speakers, sponsors, exhibitors, stakeholders and potential attendees regarding their commitment to the conference. We feel that taking this approach to cancel the conference is a responsible and appropriate response to this crisis.
