HKSN
HKSN was established in 1979 in Hong Kong with the objectives to advance neuroscience by bridging together scientists of different background and by facilitating the integration of research directed at all levels of biological organization, to promote education in neurosciences, to inform general public on neuroscience, and to establish communication with similar societies abroad. HKSN is a society member of International Brain Research Organization (IBRO), APSN and FAONS.
APSN
The purpose of APSN is to promote research in neurochemistry in particular by dissemination of information, by arrangement of meetings and in other ways to encourage contact between its members. Membership of the APSN is open to individual scientists, scientific societies with a significant interest in neurochemistry and to corporations based in the Asian Pacific region. The emphasis on different aspects of neurochemistry, including biochemical, clinical, chemical, molecular biological and pharmaceutical aspects, in the different countries promises to be one of the strengths of APSN.
FAONS
FAONS was established in 1996 by the late Prof. Masao Ito with the mission to promote the advancement of neuroscience research and education in the Asian Oceanian regions, which include Asian countries, Australia, New Zealand and Islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The Federation, currently consisting of 15 member societies, also aims to contributing to the advancement of neuroscience worldwide. The FAONS Congress and FAONS Symposium are typically organised on an alternating 2-year cycle. 13 meetings were held successfully in the past.
