Criteria for Accepting New Laboratories into the European Social Club<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The European Social Club aims to foster collaboration and communication between laboratories studying the neurobiology of social behaviors. To ensure the effectiveness and relevance of the network, we have established the following criteria for accepting new member laboratories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

1. Research Focus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The lab’s research must focus on social behavior, with a particular emphasis on exploring underlying mechanisms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Presentation Requirement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Each lab is required to present their work at one of the Club\u2019s meetings, which happen every 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Membership Fee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All member labs must pay an annual registration fee of \u20ac250 per lab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

4. Active Participation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Labs must maintain an active presence by attending and contributing to the Club\u2019s regular online meetings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Unpublished Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Presentations must focus on unpublished data to promote innovation, collaboration, and productive discussions within the network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

6. Motivational\/Request Letter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Prospective labs must submit a motivational or request letter outlining their interest in joining the Social Club and how their work aligns with its goals. Letters must be sent to alessandra.monteforte@iit.it<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

7. Geographical Location<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Membership is currently limited to labs based in the European zone. This restriction is due to time zone considerations, the network\u2019s manageable size, and its purpose as a regional initiative. However, this criterion will be revisited and discussed by December 2025 to assess whether adjustments are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

These criteria ensure that the European Social Club remains a dynamic and focused platform for fostering meaningful collaborations in the study of social behaviors. We welcome applications from labs that share our commitment to advancing knowledge in this exciting field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
