Pain, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinsons Disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Multiple Sclerosis, Psychiatric/Brain/Mental Disorders, Brain Imaging, Brain Tumours, and cutting edge cellular research are just a few of the neuroscience topics that benefit from the McGill University Integrated Program in Neuroscience (IPN) Retreat. The IPN Retreat provides your organization with a unique opportunity to gain visibility among researchers in the fields of neuroscience. Our two day event attracts over 400 people - from new graduate students still setting down roots in Montreal to established professors. As a sponsor of the IPN Retreat, your organization has several levels of support opportunities that will give you exposure throughout the two-day event.

Since 2009, the brightest and most dedicated researchers get together to share their work, and ideas, spawning exciting new collaborations with one another at the IPN Retreat. With sheer quantity and diversity of research going on at McGill (over 200 professors doing neuroscience and over 400 graduate students), it is essential to have a confluence of great minds with fresh ideas. The Retreat is the breeding ground for the interdisciplinary research projects that will yield breakthroughs in our knowledge of the nervous system and the maladies that affect it. This is what the IPN Retreat is all about.

The Retreat is an essential component in keeping Montreal a world leader in neuroscience. We offer you the opportunity to be seen as supporters of the world-class science at your doorstep.  We’d like you to be part of the IPN Retreat’s success, helping us to keep the event going as strongly as it has for the past 8 years.
