Looking back at 2023 at Neuron. Best wishes for 2024

Nine new Neuron Award laureates, a scientific dream, internships, a discussion of the Social Contract with President Petr Pavel, the Neuron Expedition In Search of a Lost Mayan City, connecting scientists with businesspeople and a whole range of other activities popularising Czech science. Our shared journey through scientific knowledge has brought us to the end of 2023 and to a summary of the main milestones that accompanied the Neuron Foundation. Thank you for the support, time, energy and inspiration you gave us throughout the year.

Thank you for the support and goodwill you gave us throughout the year. For 2024 we wish you the courage to take the path others cannot see.
